JUDGMENT AND ORDER : Mahesh Chandra Sharma, J. This appeal has been filed against the impugned judgment and award under appeal. Brief facts of the case are that an accident occurred in the present case and with regard to an accident, a claim petition was filed on behalf of the claimant/s claiming compensation as mentioned therein. Notices were issued to the opposite parties. Reply to the claim petition was filed and the learned Tribunal framed the issues. After hearing all the parties, the learned Tribunal passed the aforesaid impugned judgment & award under appeal. 2. Against the impugned judgment and award under appeal, the appellant preferred the instant appeal for the relief as prayed for in it. 3. Learned counsel for the appellant has contended that the learned Tribunal has failed to appreciate each and every aspect of the matter as also the evidence available on record. The award passed by the learned Tribunal is illegal, without jurisdiction and contrary to the facts of the case. Hence impugned award deserves to be modified/enhanced. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents has opposed the submissions advanced on behalf of appellant and requested for maintaining/setting aside of award. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned judgment and award under appeal. Hence impugned award deserves to be modified/enhanced. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents has opposed the submissions advanced on behalf of appellant and requested for maintaining/setting aside of award. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned judgment and award under appeal. I am in agreement with the findings arrived at by the learned Tribunal, which are reproduced as under:- rudh la[;k 1 o 4 %& rudh la0 1 o 4 dk fofu'p; ,oa lkFk djuk U;k;ksfpr ikrs gSA D;ksafd rudh la0 1 ds fofu'p; ds fy, eq[; :i ls ;g ns[kuk gS fd vk;k iwj.key dh e`R;q okgu nq?kZVuk ds dkj.k gqbZ vkSj rudh la[;k&4 ds fofu'p; ds fy, ;g ns[kuk gS fd vk;k iwj.key dh e`R;q nq?kZVuk ls uk gksdj LokHkkfod :i ls vpkud rfc;r [kjkc gks tkus ds dkj.k gqbZ\ ;gka ;g Hkh Li"V fd;k tkrk gS fd rudh la[;k&1 dks fl) djus dk Hkkj izkFkhZ i{k ij gSa ,oa rudh la[;k&4 dks fl) djus dk Hkkj vizkFkhZ la0 4 chek dEiuh ij gSA---------------- vizkFkhZ la0 4 dh vksj ls ;g Hkh mtz fy;k x;k gS fd jftLVMZ vkWuj tks fd izn'kZ&11 ds vuqlkj jkepUnz gS] dks i{kdkj ugha cuk;k x;k gSA bl dkj.k ls Hkh Dyse pyus ;ksX; ugha gSA vizkFkhZ la0 1 o 2 ds tokc dks ns[kk x;kA izn'kZ&9 ij xkSj fd;k x;kA uksfVl /kkjk 133 ,e0oh0 ,DV tks thriky eh.kk dks fn;k x;k gS] ftlus blh nLrkost esa vius vkidks ^^vksQsf.Max Oghdy** dk ekfyd eqrkfcd ikoj vkWQ vVkuhZ crk;k gS rFkk vius tokc esa Hkh bl U;k;kf/kdj.k ds le{k ,slk tokc is'k ugha fd;k fd og VSEiksa dk Lokeh ugha gSA fQj izn'kZ&11 dks ns[kus ls tkfgj gS fd VSEeksa dk okLrfod ekfyd thriky gSA chek dEiuh Lo;a }kjk tks chek dWojuksV bl VSEiksa ds chek ckcr tkjh fd;k x;k gS mlesa okgu Lokeh dk uke thriky eh.kk gh vafdr gSA ,sls esa ;g nyhy xyr gS fd okgu ds okLrfod ekfyd dks i{kdkj ugha cuk;k x;kA-------------- mijksDr leLr foospu o fu"d"kZ ls ,slk ugha ekuk tk ldrk fd ^^vksQsf.Mx okgu** VSEiksa la[;k vkj0ts0 14 ih0 0028 bl nq?kZVuk esa fyIr uk jgk gks vkSj e`rd iwj.key dh e`R;q nq?kZVuk ls uk gksdj LokHkkfod :i ls vpkud rfc;r [kjkc gks tkus ds dkj.k gqbZ gksA cfYd le; foospu] lk{; ds fo'ys"k.k ds vk/kkj ij izkFkhZx.k ;g fl) djus esa lQy jgs gSa fd fnukad 11-05-2002 dks izkr% 10%30 cts vizkFkhZ la0 1 VSEiksa pkyd us] VSEiksa la[;k% vkj0ts0 14 ih0 0028 dks xQyr o ykijokgh ls pykdj fnYyh ckbZikl jksM+] [kksys ds guqekuth ds ikl vpkud czsd yxk fn;s ftlls e`rd iwj.key VSEiksa ls fxj x;k vkSj mlds 'kjhj ij xaHkhj o lk/kkj.k pksVsa vkbZ vkSj ,l0,e0,l0 vLirky esa mldh e`R;q gks xbZA nq?kZVuk esa fyIr okgu dk Lokeh vizkFkhZ la0 2 gS ,oa oDr nq?kZVuk ;g VSEiksa vizkFkhZ la0 4 ds ;gka chfer FkkA 23- vr% rudh la[;k 1 izkFkhZx.k ds i{k esa ,oa vizkFkhZx.k ds fo:) r; dh tkrh gSA mijksDr foospu ,oa fu"d"kZ ds vk/kkj ij rudh la[;k 4 vizkFkhZ la0 4 ds fo:) ,oa izkFkhZx.k ds i{k esa fuf.kZr dh tkrh gSA rudh la[;k&2 bl rudh dks fl) djus dk Hkkj izkFkhZ i{k ij gSA izkFkhZ i{ki ds vuqlkj e`rd dh vk;q 26 o"kZ nq?kZVuk ds le; FkhA ;g ljdkjh v/;kid ds in ij fu;qfDr FkkA mldk ekfld osru izn'kZ&18 ds vuqlkj dqy 6]585@& :i;s FkkA vr% leqfpr {kfriwfrZ jkf'k iznku dh tkosA bldh dkV esa vH;FkhZ la0 4 ds yk;d vfHkHkk"kd Jh eqUuk yky xqIrk dk dguk gS fd e`rd dk fu;qfDr i= izn'kZ&18 lkbZDyksLVkbZy izfr gS vkSj izn'kZ&18 izek.ki= dks tkjh djus okys vf/kdkjh dks is'kdj fl) ugha djk;k x;k gS vr% buds vk/kkj ij {kfriwfrZ jkf'k fu/kkZfjr ugha dh tkus pkfg,A vius rdZ ds leFkZu esa uthj ,0vkbZ0vkj0 1980 xkSgkVh ist&51 ih0th0 Mksxfj;ku cuke dysDVj vkWQ dke:i is'k dhA bl uthj esa O;oLFkk nh xbZ gS fd ;fn fdlh nLrkost dks izn'kZ dj ns rks ;g ugha ekuk tkosxk fd nLrkost lkfcr gks x;k gS] bls vyx ls lkfcr djuk vko';d gSA---------- vr% e`rd dh ekfld vk; 6]585@& :i;s FkhA mldh nq?kZVuk ds le; 26 o"kZ Fkh vr% /kkjk 163& ,e0oh0 ,DV lSd.M f'kM~;wy ds vuqlkj 18 dk xq.kk fd;k tkus ij izkFkhZx.k dks vk; dh {kfr en esa 6,585x12x18= 14,22,360/- :i;s fnykuk U;k;ksfpr ikrs gSA blds vykok mijksDr f'kM~;wy ds dzekad% 3@1 ds vuqlkj nkg laLdj ds en esa 2]000@& :i;s] dzekad 3@11 ds vuqlkj ekufld osnu] Lusg] lsok ls oapuk ds fy, izR;sd izkFkhZ dks 5000@& :i;s ds fglkc ls rhuksa izkFkhZx.k dks 15]000@& :i;s] dzekad% 3@111 ds vuqlkj lEifRr {kfr ds en esa 2]500@& :i;s Hkh fnyk;k tkuk U;k;ksfpr ikrs gSA bl izdkj izkFkhZx.k ds i{k esa dqy 14]41]860@& :i;s {kfriwfrZ jkf'k fu/kkZfjr dh tkrh gSA izkFkhZx.k mijksDr jkf'k vizkFkhZx.k la;qDrr% o i`Fkd :i ls izkIr djusa ds vf/kdkjh gSA bl vuq:i ;g rudh vkaf'kd :i ls izkFkhZx.k ds i{k esa ,oa vizkFkhZx.k ds fo:) r; dh tkrh gSA 6. Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case and the findings arrived at by learned Tribunal as quoted herein above, the learned Tribunal is found to have dealt with each and every aspect of the matter, and has rightly passed the impugned judgment and award. I am in unison with the findings arrived at by the learned Tribunal. Hence, I do not think it just and proper to interfere with the impugned award under appeal passed by the Tribunal, and thus the appeal having no force, is hereby dismissed after confirming the judgment and award under appeal passed by the learned Tribunal.
