The complainant has filed the aforementioned application for enhancement of compensation to the tune of Rs.2.5 crore in addition to the original compensation as claimed in the complaint. It has been stated in the application that the complainant applied and selected for the post of Watchman in Food Corporation of India, but he was declined appointment due to his disease, which was attributed to his service in the previous department. Due to not giving appointment in Food Corporation of India, he has suffered loss of Rs.2.5.crore.

We have considered the aforementioned application. In the original claim petition, the complainant has claimed compensation of 17 years salary together with chance of promotion and revision of pay scale. According to the principle of Hon’ble Supreme Court as laid down in Sarla Verma Vs. Delhi Transport Corporation (2009) 6 SCC 121, the 17 years’ salary is more than the multiplier as prescribed for the age group of the complainant. Since the complainant is already claiming 17 years’ salary, as such he cannot be permitted to claim further remuneration for those periods. Application, is therefore, rejected.
