FAO No.4273 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. FAO No.4273 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: October, 2012 Kamlesh Devi & others ...Appellants Versus Parveen Kumar and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: None for the appellants. None for respondents No.1 & 2. Mr. R.C. Kapoor, Advocate for respondent No.3. Rajan Gupta, J. Dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation granted by the tribunal, claimants have preferred instant appeal before this court. No one has put in appearance on behalf of appellants and respondents No.1 & 2. Learned counsel for the insurance company submits that adequate compensation has been awarded to the appellants for the death of deceased Rohtash Singh. I have heard learned counsel for respondent No.3 and given careful thought to the facts of the case. It appears that accident took place on 18th December, 2005 in which Rohtash Singh died. Claim petition was preferred by his legal heirs before the tribunal. After the court came to the conclusion that offending vehicle was being driven in rash and negligent manner, it awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.12,96,812/- taking the income of FAO No.4273 of 2010 2 the deceased as Rs.12,378/- and dependency as Rs.8252/- per month. Multiplier of 13 was, however, applied. In my considered view, this multiplier has rightly been applied by the tribunal. Rs.9500/- were awarded on account of funeral expenses, loss of consortium and loss of estate. Compensation has been granted after taking all the factors into consideration. No interference in appellate jurisdiction of this court is, thus, warranted. The appeal is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE October, 2012 'rajpal'
