No. 7781-CII of 2009 Civil Misc. application is allowed. 561 days' delay in filing the appeal is condoned. FAO No.1521 of 2009 This appeal is directed against the award dated 3.4.2007 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Chandigarh, for enhancement of compensation. Having scrutinized the impugned award, the deceased Pavitar Singh died at the age of 23 years. He was a labourer and the Tribunal has rightly assessed his salary to the tune of Rs.3000/- per month and after making 1/3rd deduction which he had been contributing for himself, his net dependency comes to Rs.2000/-. After applying the multiplier of 17, an award of Rs.4,08,000/- was passed in his favour. No grounds for enhancement are made out. Dismissed. July 14, 2009 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
