IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Appeal from Order No.7 of 2011 State of Uttarakhand & Another ..… Appellants Versus Smt. Pushpa Devi ….. Respondent Mr. Dinesh Gehtori, Standing Counsel for the appellants Mr. Ganesh Kandpal, Advocate for the respondent Hon’ble B.S. Verma, J. This appeal, preferred by the appellants/State of Uttarakhand, is directed against the order dated 11.11.2010 passed by Workmen Compensation Commissioner, Haldwani in Case No.WCA 62 of 2007 Smt. Pushpa Devi V. Executive Engineer, Construction Division, P.W.D. Ramnagar (Nainital), whereby the Workmen Compensation Commissioner has granted a compensation of Rs.3,68,340/- along with the interest of Rs.64,435/- (in total Rs.4,32,775/-) to the respondent, on account of death of Sri Uttamram, the husband of the respondent. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the order impugned. The questions framed in the memo of appeal are substantial questions of facts and not substantial questions of law. The learned Commissioner has recorded a categorical finding that the deceased has died during the course of employment when the tractor of the department was being driven by the workmen on the fateful day. This fact has not been denied by the State. 2 This fact is also admitted that at the time of accident, the deceased was employed in the department at a wage of Rs.6,000/- per month. Further, it is nowhere pleaded in the appeal that the factor was not applied correctly by the learned Commissioner. Since no substantial question of law is involved in the present appeal, therefore, the appeal lacks merit and is dismissed summarily. The Workmen Compensation Commissioner, Haldwani, is directed to release the amount in favour of the respondent forthwith. (B.S. Verma, J.) 15.3.2011 RG 2
