IN THE HIGH COURTOF PUNJAB AND HARYANA, CHANDIGARH. FAO No.643 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 26.4.2011 Zia Ur Rehman and another ...Appellant(s) vs Atte Mohd. and others ....Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG. --- Present: Mr.Sarfraj Hussain, Advpcate, for the appellants. -- Rakesh Kumar Garg, ,J.(Oral) Claimants who are the parents of deceased Wasim Akram alias Wasim have approached this Court for enhancement of compensation on account of his death in a motor vehicle accident. Admittedly at the time of death, Wasim Aakram of was a student of 6th class and a sum of Rs.1,75000/- has been awarded to the appellants as compensation on account of his death. The amount awarded by the Tribunal is thus fair and has been determined keeping in view all the factors for determining the amount of compensation. It is settled law that compensation is neither a bonanza nor a bounty and always depends on the facts and circumstances of each case independently. No merit. Dismissed. There is a delay of 324 days in filing this appeal. The application for condonation of delay has also been filed. Though hardly any sufficient reason has been given for condoning the delay but in view of the fact that appeal has been decided on merits, this application for condonation of delay does not survive.
