In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh F.A.O. No. 552 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: July 22, 2009 Saroj and others .. Appellants Vs. Baljinder Singh and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: None for the appellants. Mr. Vikas Sharma, Advocate for the respondents No.1 & 2. Mr. Suman Jain, Advocate for respondent No.3- Insurance Company. A.N. Jindal, J There is a written request for adjourned moved by the learned counsel for the appellant. Nothing has been mentioned in the request as to what is the difficulty with the appellant. The adjournment could not be given as a matter of course, therefore, I, proceed to decide this appeal for enhancement of compensation in his absence. The appellant is stated to be 35 years old. He was a rickshaw puller and the Tribunal has rightly assessed his income as Rs.3000/- per month and after deducting 9/11th unit of his income, annual dependency was taken as Rs.29,455/- and after applying the multiplier of 14, the appellants were awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.4,12,370/- along with interest @ 7.5% per annum. In addition to it, a sum of Rs.35,000/- more were awarded on account of loss of consortium, funeral expenses and last rites. As such, finding the compensation to be adequate, I do not find any merit in the appeal and the same is dismissed. July 22, 2009 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
