Appellants VERSUS M/s Delhi Bhiwani Transport Company Private Limited and others ...... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: None for the appellant. Mr.Chander Singh Rana, Advocate, for Mr.Rajiv Kataria, Advocate, for respondent No.1. Mr.Inderjit Sharma, Advocate, for respondent No.2. Mr.Rajiv Malhotra, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana, for respondents No.4 and 5. ***** A.N.JINDAL, J(ORAL): This appeal for enhancement is directed against the award dated 09.03.1995, passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Rohtak (herein referred as 'the Tribunal') awarding compensation to the tune of Rs.37,280/- alongwith interest @ 12% per annum in favour of the appellants-claimants (herein referred as 'the claimants') and against the respondents on account of the death of Taqdir Singh in a motor vehicular accident. The deceased was a driver with the Delhi-Bhiwani Transport Company and drawing a salary of Rs.1400/- per month. Since the deceased was found negligent to the extent of 90%, therefore, in that proportion, the Tribunal, while taking the dependency of the deceased towards the claimants as 1/3rd and considering his age as 26 years, awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.17,280/-. In addition to it, the claimants were also awarded a sum of Rs.20,000/- on account of funeral, last rites and love and affection. The compensation appears to be quite adequate, fair and reasonable. No grounds for enhancement. Dismissed. (A.N.Jindal) Judge 27.04.2010 mamta-II
