IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No. 972 of 2007 (O&M) Date of decision : April 22, 2008 Ganga Ram ....Appellant versus Ishwar and another ....Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Pritam Pal Present : Mr. K.S.Dhanora, Advocate for the appellant Pritam Pal,J. (Oral) This FAO by the workman under the Workmen's Compensation Act (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act') is directed against the award dated 11.9.2006 whereby a total compensation of Rs 4,42,008/- has been granted together with interest at the rate of 12% per annum from the date of accident till the amount is actually paid. The only contention of learned counsel for the appellant is that the amount of penalty has not been added while awarding the compensation on account of injury sustained by the appellant while working on a thresher machine during his employment with respondent no. 1. This contention fails to carry any conviction with this Court inasmuch as a perusal of the impugned judgment shows that the penalty shall be announced after serving a notice upon respondent no. 1. Admittedly, the said notice has not been served so far. Learned counsel FAO No. 972 of 2007 (O&M) -2- for the appellant could not make out any discrepancy in the formula applied for assessing the amount of compensation. It is mandatory under section 30 of the Act to make out substantial question of law for getting the appeal admitted under the Act which learned counsel for the appellant was unable to show. Hence, the appeal is dismissed in limine. ( Pritam Pal ) April 22, 2008 Judge 'dalbir'
