S.B. CIVIL MISC. APPEAL NO.71 /2007. ( Smt. Dhau Devi & ors. Vs. Amar Khan & Ors.) Date of Order :: 9th January 2007. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH MAHESHWARI Mr. M.L.Khatri for the appellant. ..... Having heard learned counsel for the claimant- appellant and having perused the impugned award dated 21.04.2006 in Claim Case No.196/2004, this Court is satisfied that the instant appeal for enhancement of amount of compensation remains bereft of substance and does not merit admission. For quantification of compensation to be awarded to the wife, children and parents of the vehicular accident victim Hathi Ram about 25 years in age, the Tribunal has noticed the submissions of the claimants about the deceased working in colouring and painting; and for want of any cogent evidence on record, has taken his monthly income at Rs.2,100/- and deducting one-third wherefrom and with application of multiplier of 17 in view of the age of the deceased at 25 years, has assessed pecuniary loss at Rs.2,85,600/- and allowing Rs.2000/- towards funeral expenses and Rs.5,000/- towards non-pecuniary loss has awarded compensation in the sum of Rs.2,92,600/-. The Tribunal has allowed interest @ 6% per annum from the date of filing of claim application after adjustment of the amount of Rs.50,000/-, if received under interim award. Though the Tribunal has allowed comparatively lesser amount towards non-pecuniary loss but has assessed pecuniary loss rather liberally with application of multiplier of 17 and taking reasonable amount towards loss of contribution. In the ultimate analysis, though the award appears to be moderate but cannot be said to be too low or inadequate than that of just compensation; and there appears no scope for upward revision in this appeal. The appeal fails and is, therefore, dismissed summarily. (DINESH MAHESHWARI), J. MK
