FAO-2861-2026 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO-2861-2026 Date of decision: 07.08.2026 Gaurav Kumar ...Appellant Versus Badku Ram and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DEEPAK GUPTA Present: Mr. Ankit Kamboj, Advocate for Mr. Munish Mi-al, Advocate for the appellant. **** DEEPAK GUPTA, J. (ORAL) The only conten1on raised by learned counsel for the appellant to assail the award of learned MACT, Karnal on the aspect of quantum of compensa1on is that the appellant was a skilled person and therefore, his income should have been taken as that of a skilled person. 2. However, on a specific query, learned counsel for the appellant concedes that the appellant did not suffer any permanent disability. The disability as assessed by the Board was 30% temporary only. Once it is so, compensa1on under the head of loss of future earnings was not required to be considered by applying the structured formula. 3. As such, this Court does not find any merit in the appeal. The same is hereby dismissed. 07.08.2026 (DEEPAK GUPTA) Yogesh JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned:- Yes/No Whether reportable:- Yes/No YOGESH MEHTA 2026.08.07 16:41 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
