[1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR J U D G M E N T S.B. CIVIL MISC. APPEAL NO. 2176/2004 SMT. SHANI DEVI & ORS. Vs. GHASI RAM & ORS. Date: 11.03.2008. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.S. RATHORE Mr. D.K. Bharwaj for the claimants-appellants. Mr. Man Singh Gupta for the respondents. **** The claimants-appellants have preferred the instant civil misc. appeal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 for enhancement of compensation awarded vide impugned judgment dated 05.08.2004 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track) No.6, Jaipur City, Jaipur in Case No. 217/2004, whereby the claim petition filed by the claimants-appellants has been partly allowed and compensation to the tune of Rs. 3,58,400/- along with interest @ 6% p.a. has been awarded in favour of the claimants-appellants. The appellants by way of this appeal prayed for enhancement of the compensation on the ground that the income of the deceased has been wrongly assessed by the Court below as Rs. 2,400/- per month, whereas as per the documents submitted before the Court below to prove the income, the deceased was earning Rs. 7,000/- to 8,000/- per [2] month being agriculturist and from the business of milk. It is further contended that the future prospects have also not been considered by the Court below as the deceased was only 23 years of age at the time of accident and wrongly applied the multiplier of 17 while awarding compensation in favour of the claimants-appellants. I have heard rival submissions of the respective parties and carefully gone through the impugned judgment dated 05.08.2004 passed by the Court below. While passing the impugned judgment, the Court below has considered each and every aspect including the age and income of the deceased. It is not disputed that the age of the deceased was 23 years at the time of accident and looking to the age of the deceased, as per the Schedule multiplier of 17 has rightly been applied by the Court below and the income part of the deceased has also been rightly assessed and accordingly the Court below has awarded compensation to the tune of Rs. 3,58,400/- in favour of the claimants- appellants vide impugned judgment dated 05.08.2004, which is just and reasonable and the same requires no interference by this Court as the appellants failed to make out any case for enhancement of compensation. [3] Consequently, the present civil misc. appeal fails being devoid of merit and the same is hereby dismissed. (K.S. RATHORE)J. /KKC/
