Appeal No. F.D‑7 of 1984, decided on 28th October, 1984.
West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance (VI of 1968)‑
‑‑S. O. 10‑B--Compensation of deceased workman‑.Entitlement for‑Heirs and not dependents entitled to get compensation.
Appellant in person.
Date of hearing : 28th October, 1984.
In this appeal the order dated 31st July, 1984 recorded by the learned Commissioner for Workmen's Compensation, Faisalabad has been challen ged to the extent the amount has been apportioned to other heirs of the deceased also. The case of the appellant is that her daughter Mst. Iqbal Begum and Faiz Batool had foregone their shares and that the others are not entitled to any amount not being the dependants of the deceased. So, far as the above‑mentioned two daughters of the deceased are concerned, they have in their statements made before the learned Commissioner claimed their share. The other relatives of the deceased are also entitled being heirs of the deceased. Compensation has been granted under Standing Order 10‑B. According to its clause (4), heirs and not dependants are entitled to get the compensation. The learned Com missioner has, therefore, rightly apportioned the amount of compensation among all the heirs. This is not the case of the appellant that the other persons, who have been given share in the ;amount, are not the heirs of the deceased. The impugned order is unexceptional and thus cannot be interfered with.
2. As a result, the appeal is dismissed in limine.
