Appellants VERSUS Nirbhai Singh and others ... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Mr.S.S.Salar, Advocate for the appellants. Mr.B.S.Sidhu, Advocate for respondent No.1. Mr.Vishal Chaudhary, Advocate for respondent - New India Assurance Company Limited. A.N.JINDAL, J.- The claimants – appellants (herein referred as the claimants) have prayed for enhancement of compensation by filing the instant appeal, challenging the award dated 2.11.1999 passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Sangrur (herein referred as `the Tribunal'), awarding a compensation to the tune of Rs.1,87,000/- on account of the death of Mukhtiar Singh in a motor vehicle accident. Heard. In the instant case, though it was pleaded that the deceased was doing the work of dairy and having seven acres of land, but no documentary evidence in this regard was brought on record. FAO No.2053 of 2001(O&M) [2] The deceased was admittedly 34 years old at the time of the accident. The Tribunal while assessing his income at Rs.1500/- per month and deducting 1/3rd on account of self-dependency, and after taking into consideration the evidence on record, applied the multiplier of 15, which is quite suitable to be applied in such a case. The amount awarded by the Tribunal appears to be fair, just and reasonable. No grounds for enhancement. Dismissed. March 30, 2010 ( A.N.JINDAL ) `gian' JUDGE
