JUDGMENT :

This is a claimant’s appeal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 seeking enhancement of compensation awarded by the Tribunal.

2. The two claimant-appellants, Arvind Agrawal and Smt. Renu Agrawal, are the parents of the late Anshul Agrawal, the victim of a fatal motor accident, that happened on 31.05.2008. According to the facts set out in the claim petition, the deceased, Anshul Agrawal, was proceeding on board a Maruti car bearing Registration No. UP 14 T 0150 on 31.05.2008 at about 10 o’clock in the evening hours, along with his workmen, one Dhananjay and another Sonu. He was proceeding from Rampur bound homewards. He lived at Premises No. 6/165, Rajnagar, Police Station Kavinagar, District Ghaziabad, and this was his destination on the fateful journey. When Anshul reached a place in front of the gate at Village Shahbazpur, a truck bearing Registration No. UP 25 T5201, driven at a high speed and negligently, approached from the opposite direction. The truck collided with Anshul’s car head-on. The impact led Anshul, Dhananjay and Sonu to sustain injuries.
