JUDGMENT Rakesh Kumar Garg, J.(Oral).:- CM No.23179-CII of 2009 For the reasons mentioned in the application, delay of 33 days in filing this appeal is condoned. CM stands disposed of. FAO No.4788 of 2009(O&M) This is owner’s appeal challenging the impugned award whereby the claimant-respondents have been awarded compensation on account of death of Sh. Bharat Bhushan caused due to rash and negligent driving by the driver of the offending vehicle. 2. The only contention raised by the appellants is that finding of the Tribunal on the issue of negligence of the driver of the appellants is erroenous and is liable to be set aside/reversed in their favour. 3. I have perused the impugned award and find that the Tribunal on appreciation of evidence on record has recorded a finding of fact that the accident in question was caused due to rash and negligent driving of the driver of the offending truck of the appellants. There is nothing on record to show that the aforesaid findings are contrary to the record or perverse in any manner. Even learned counsel for the appellants could not point out any evidence on record which has been ignored by the Tribunal while reaching the aforesaid conclusion on the aforesaid issue. 4. No other point has been urged. Thus, I find no merit in this appeal. Dismissed. ----------
