DARSHAN SINGH, J.

The present appeal has been preferred against the award dated 22.08.2012, passed by the learned Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Sirsa (hereinafter called the “Tribunal”), vide which the appellants-claimants have been awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.3,10,000/- on account of death of their son Gursewak Singh in the motor vehicular accident, which took place on 30.06.2011.

2. The present appeal has been preferred by the appellants-claimants for enhancement of the amount of compensation.

3. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the paper-book carefully.

4. Learned counsel for the appellants-claimants contended that the compensation awarded by the learned Tribunal is inadequate. Deceased Gursewak Singh was the only son of the claimants. He was student of 9th standard and was 16 years of age. The claimants were entitled to compensation at least to the tune of Rs.5,00,000/-. To support his contentions he relied upon case Kamla and another Vs. Inder Pal and others FAO No.3628 of 2012 decided on 12.05.2014 by the Coordinate Bench of this Court.

5. On the other hand, Mr. M.K. Garg, Advocate, learned counsel for the respondent-Insurance Co
