In the Punjab and Haryana High Court,at Chandigarh. FAO No. 144 of 2008 Decided on February 02 ,2009. Smt.Raj Bala and others --Appellants vs. Yashvir and another -- Respondents Present: Mr.S.P.Chahar,Advocate,for the appellants Mr .V.S.Punia,Advocate,for respondent No.1. Mr.Suman Jain,Advocate,for respondent No.2. Rakesh Kumar Jain,J: (Oral) The only argument raised by learned counsel for the appellants is that the deceased was 32 years of age at the time of death and was earning Rs.4000/- per month. However, he admits that no evidence could be brought on record to prove the salary of Rs.4000/- per month being drawn by the deceased. Thus, in the absence of any cogent evidence and proof of income of the deceased, I find that the learned Court below has rightly taken minimum wages as the salary as prescribed for the driver of heavy vehicles at the time of death on 02.11.2004 and awarded Rs. 2629.45 paise. Learned counsel for the appellants has failed to show any ground to challenge the award of the learned Court below. In these circumstances, I do not find any merit in the appeal and the same is hereby dismissed in limine. February 02,2009 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
