In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh F.A.O. No. 4270 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: August 26, 2009 ICICI Lombard General Insurance Co. Ltd. .. Appellant Vs. Sheetal and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Vijay Pal, Advocate for the appellant. A.N. Jindal, J This appeal filed by the Insurance Company is directed against the award dated 27.2.2009 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Panipat, whereby it has assailed the findings returned by the Tribunal on the quantum of compensation. The Tribunal while observing that the deceased was auto mobile mechanic and was running a shop in the name and style of Anil Auto Works, Shahabad, assessed his income as Rs.5000/- per month and after deducting 1/3rd which he may be contributing towards himself and applying the multiplier of 16 (deceased being 32 years old) awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.6,54,936/-. It also includes a sum of Rs.10,000/- on account of funeral expenses and Rs.5000/- on account of loss of estate. Learned counsel has urged that there is no specific evidence in order to prove that the deceased was auto mobile mechanic. Having perused the award, it transpires that Smt. Sheetal widow of Anil Kumar has specifically stated that Anil Kumar was auto mobile mechanic and was running shop in the name and style of Anil Auto Works, Shahabad. She has been cross examined at length, but nothing fruitful could be elicited out to disbelieve her testimony. No evidence in rebuttal has been led by the Insurance Company or the other respondents. No grounds to interfere. Dismissed. August 26, 2009 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
