SANGEETA & ORS Vs. KRISHAN KUMAR & ORS

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Leave granted.

(2.) In the nature of the order we propose to pass, it is not necessary to issue notice to the respondents.

(3.) The appellants are before this Court seeking enhancement of compensation. The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Patiala (for short, 'the Tribunal') granted Rs.9,85,000/- (Rupees Nine Lacs Eightfive Thousand) with interest @ 6% per annum. The High Court enhanced the compensation to Rs.12,12,000/- (Rupees Twelve Lacs Twelve Thousand) with interest @ 9% per annum. It is seen from the decretal portion of the impugned judgment of the High Court that interest @ 9 % per annum is made applicable only on the enhanced portion of the compensation, namely, Rs.2,27,000/- (Rupees Two Lacs Twentyseven Thousand), which appears to be a mistake and in any case unjust.
