FAO No.439 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH FAO No.439 of 2011 Date of decision May 4, 2011 Shiv Lal and another ....... Appellants Versus Kasim and others ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Arun Yadav, Advocate for the petitioner. **** 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ?No 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest?No K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The appeal is for enhancement of claim for compensation on the ground that the Tribunal had taken the income merely at `2800/- per month. The deceased was aged 18 years. The evidence was that he was working in a shop. PW-3 gave evidence that he was working in his shop and was earning `5,000/- per month. The Tribunal rejected this evidence as unworthy of acceptance and made a reasoning that if there had been any employment under him he must have maintained some records. The Tribunal had taken the income to be `2800/- per month considering the relative young age of the deceased and adopted the scales of compensation as provided by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Sarla Verma Vs.Delhi Road Transport Corporation reported in (2009) 6 SC FAO No.439 of 2011 2 121 . I find no reason to make a deviation from the approach adopted by the Tribunal. The over all compensation where the claimants are parents would be seen to be just. 2. I confirm the award and dismiss the appeal. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE May 4, 2011 archana
