IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. FAO No. 2360 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 16.12.2009. Kundan Fabricator ....Appellant Versus Sudesh Devi ...Respondent CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. Surinder Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. RAJESH BINDAL J. **** This appeal is directed against the award of Workmen's Compensation Commissioner granting compensation of Rs. 4,48,000/- to the respondents. In terms of provisions of Section 30 of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, an appeal against the order of Workmen's Compensation Commissioner lies to this Court. However, proviso thereto provides that no such appeal lies unless the memorandum of appeal is accompanied by a certificate by the Commissioner to the effect that the appellant has deposited with him the amount payable under the order appealed against. It is not in dispute that in the present case the award was passed by the Workmen's Compensation Commissioner on 8.4.2009. The appeal was preferred in this Court on 14.5.2009 without annexing the receipt of deposit of compensation with the Commissioner. Still further inspite of opportunities granted by this Court, as a matter of indulgence the amount has not been deposited till date. Considering the aforesaid fact, this Court does not have any option but to dismiss the present appeal. Dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 16.12.2009 JUDGE Reema
