FAO No.2061 of 2010 (O&M) 1 In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. Decided on 13.5.2010. New India Assurance Company Ltd. --Appellant vs. Smt.Saroj and others -- Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr.Vinod Gupta,Advocate,for the appellant Rakesh Kumar Jain, J, This appeal is directed against the order of learned Workmens' Compensation Commissioner, Hisar Circle, dated 12.1.2010, whereby the claimants have been awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.5,21,815/- on account of death of Mahavir son of Mam Chand. Initially, the appeal was preferred without framing the substantial question of law as envisaged under Section 30 of the Workmens' Compesation Act, 1923 (for short,'the Act'). On 20.4.2010, learned counsel for the appellant sought time to frame substantial questions of law and the case was adjourned for today. Now the appellant has filed an application, i.e C.M. No.10406- CII of 2010 in order to place on record law points involved in this appeal. FAO No.2061 of 2010 (O&M) 2 The application is allowed vide a separate order of even date and the law points as framed by the learned counsel for the appellant are taken on record. According to the appellant, following questions of law are involved in this appeal:- (a) Whether the respondent/claimant has failed to prove the employer employee relationship ? (b) Whether the Insurance Company is liable to pay the interest from the date of application or from the date of adjudication ? Learned counsel for the appellant could not satisfy the aforesaid questions of law because it has been well proved before the Tribunal that there was relationship of employer and employee between Mahavir and Pawan Kumar (respondent No.1). Insofar as the interest is concerned as to whether it has to be paid from the date of adjudication or from the date of accident. It is now well settled by this Court that interest would be calculated after expiry of 30 days from the date of accident and not from the date of adjudication of dispute between the parties. In view of the above, I do not find any question of law much- less substantial involved in this appeal for the purpose of its adjudication by this Court. Hence, this appeal is hereby dismissed, though without any order as to costs. 13.5.2010 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge FAO No.2061 of 2010 (O&M) 3
