1. Claimant-Master Nitish Kumar had filed two Claim Petitions i.e. M.A.C. Petitions No. 17-S/2 of 2010 & 18-S/2 of 2010, both titled as Master Nitish Kumar v. Managing Director, HRTC and another, before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, (for short 'the Tribunal), for grant of compensation to the tune of Rs. 20,00,000/- each, in both the claim petitions, on account of death of his parents.

2. The aforesaid claim petitions came to be allowed by the Tribunal vide two different awards dated 21.04.2012, whereby compensation to the tune of Rs. 2,00,000/- each in both the claim petitions, was awarded in favour of the claimant, for short 'the impugned awards'.

3. Both these appeals are outcome of the one accident, thus I deem it proper to determine both these appeals by this common judgment.

4. The respondents have not questioned the impugned awards, on any count. Thus, the same have attained finality, so far these relate to them.

5. The claimant has questioned the impugned awards on the ground of adequacy of compensation.

6. Thus, the only question to be determined in these appeals is-whether the amount awarded is adequate? The answer
