Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-29-1983

Reported in: 1(1985)ACC46

Gulab Gupta, J. 1. Heard Shri R.R. Jaiswal, learned Counsel for the applicant, on the question of admission.2. The first grievance of the learned Counsel is that the Commissioner his neither awarded any penalty or interest on the amount of compensation determined by him. He submits that when some compensation has been awarded, penalty and interest should also be awarded. This does not appear to be correct. It is in the discretion of the commission to awarded penalty or interest while awarding the compensation. Section 30 of the Workmen's Compensation Act does not contemplate an appeal against orders refusing to award interest or penalty.

The learned Counsel's next grievance is about ignoring evidence on the wages which the workman was earning. He submits that it has come on record that besides Rs. 1...
