FAO No.473 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH FAO No.473 of 2011 Date of decision April 20, 2011 Smt. Mayapati and another ....... Appellants Versus Raj Kumar and another ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. J. P. Sharma, 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 death of a boy aged 14. The claimants are parents. The appellant belongs to an agricultural family and with no particular proficiency in education and employment, the Tribunal assessed the compensation of `2,25,000/-. Learned counsel states that the amount awarded is grossly low. If the formula prescribed under Schedule-II of Section 163-A were to be taken, it could be a situation providing `15000/- per annum as income and after making provision for 1/3rd deduction and a multiplier of 16 the amount of compensation that would be determined would not be in excess of what has been awarded. I do not find any reason for making enhancement. FAO No.473 of 2010 2 2. Learned counsel refers to a decision of this Court in Parkash Singh Vs. Surjit Singh (2010) 2 RCR 54 to state that for death of a boy aged 15 years, this Court has awarded compensation of `2,95,000/-. I cannot take this to be a proposition of law emerging for every case to follow. 3. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE April 20 , 2011 archana
