IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.1432 of 1992 (O&M) Date of decision:19.04.2011 Nahar Singh ...Appellant versus Hardev Singh and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN ---- Present: None. ---- 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No. 2. To be referred to the reporters or not ? No. 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest ? No. ---- K.Kannan, J. (Oral) 1. The appeal is of the year 1992 and there is no representation at the time when the matter is called. I have proceeded to examine the case on the basis of the records and dispose of as under. 2. The appeal is against the award of compensation granted by the Tribunal at Rs.50,000/- for death of one Gurmel Kaur, who was 38 years of age. The claimants were the husband, sons and daughter. The point urged in appeal is that the compensation awarded at Rs.50,000/- is excessive and the age as taken by the Tribunal as 38 was erroneous. She was aged 60 years. Even if the age were to be 60, the determination of FAO No.1432 of 1992 (O&M) - 2 - compensation at Rs.50,000/- was only modest and there is no scope for a reappraisal to lower the same in any way. 3. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K.KANNAN) JUDGE 19.04.2011 sanjeev
