In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh F.A.O. No. 4535 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision: August 21, 2009 Harmail Singh and others .. Appellants Vs. Nandeshwar Ram Yadav and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. G.S. Sandhu, Advocate for the appellants. A.N. Jindal, J (Oral) CM No.24104-CII of 2008 Civil Misc. application is allowed. 9 days' delay in filing the appeal is condoned. FAO No. 4535 of 2008 This appeal for enhancement is directed against the award dated 17.3.2008 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Karnal, whereby a sum of Rs.12,46,480/- were awarded on account of the death of Anju Bala, aged about 38 years, working as Sewing Teacher in S.D. Girls Senior Secondary School, Panipat. Perusal of the award shows that the Tribunal has already awarded the multiplier higher than the parameters as laid down by the Apex Court in case Sarla Verma and others vs. Delhi Transport Corporation and another 2009 (3) RCR (Civil) 77. A sum of Rs.10,000/- were awarded towards the expenses incurred on the last rites. Learned counsel for the appellants has further argued that the deceased before her death remained admitted in the hospital for one month, but no evidence has been brought on record in order to prove the same. No grounds for enhancement. Dismissed. August 21, 2009 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
