FAO No.129 of 2012 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.M.No.498 CII of 2012 in/and F.A.O. No. 129 of 2012 Date of decision : August 30 , 2012 Krishna Devi ....Appellant Versus Satpal and others ....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present : Mr.Anurag Jain, Advocate for the appellant. Ms.Vandana Malhotra, Advocate for Insurance Company. Rajan Gupta, J. (Oral) C.M.No.498 CII of 2012 This is an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act for condonation of delay of 117 days in filing the appeal. For the reasons stated in the application, same is allowed. Delay of 117 days in filing the appeal is condoned. F.A.O. No. 129 of 2012 Present appeal has been preferred by the appellant dis-satisfied with the compensation granted by the tribunal. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the compensation granted is on the lower side, it needs to be enhanced. Learned counsel for the Insurance Company submits that adequate compensation to the tune of Rs.3,46,000/- has already been FAO No.129 of 2012 2 awarded by the tribunal. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. It appears that accident took place on 21.3.2010 in which Mandeep died. The tribunal awarded the compensation to the tune of Rs.3,46,000/-. It appears that the tribunal while assessing the compensation has not granted sufficient amount on account of funeral expenses and loss of estate. In my considered view, appellant is entitled to another sum of Rs.10,000/- on account of funeral expenses and loss of estate. Since deceased-Mandeep (son of the appellant) was very young, some amount needs to be granted on account of loss of love and affection. Accordingly, appellant is entitled to another sum of Rs.10,000/- on account of loss of love and affection. Appeal is allowed in these terms. Rest of the award is maintained as such.
