which is accompanied by an affidavit, It is
allowed and one day delay in filing the appeal
stands condoned.
FAO No. 927 of 2006 (O & M)
(2.) Vide order, under challenge,
Commissioner, under the Workmen's
Compensation Act, 1923, awarded
compensation to respondent No. 1 / claimant,
for death of Tara Chand his son, to the tune
of Rs. 4,98,083 along with interest.
(3.) It is an admitted fact that the deceased
was in employment of respondent No.2 and
he died while in service and in the discharge
of his duties. To that extent, there is no
dispute. Compensation has been awarded,
by taking note of age of the deceased i.e.,
22 years and his salary has been assessed
only at Rs. 4,500 per month as the deceased
was working as a driver. This Court feels
that salary assessed is perfectly justified and
rather is on the lower side.;
