FAO No.2092 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No.2092 of 2011 Date of decision:18.7.2011 National Insurance Company Ltd. ...Appellant Versus Charan Singh & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr.R.C.Kapoor, Advocate, for the appellant. -.- JITENDRA CHUAHAN, J. (Oral) The issue involved in the present appeal is that the learned Tribunal has not deducted 1/3rd income of the deceased towards personal expenses as stipulated under second Schedule of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1989 (for short `the Act'). I have heard the learned counsel for the appellant. From the perusal of the award, it is made out that the learned Tribunal has ignored the provisions of Section 163A of the Act, whereby a cut of 1/3rd has to be applied on account of personal expenses of the deceased from the notional income of the deceased at `15,000/- per annum. As per second Schedule, the income of the deceased would be `10,000/- after deducting 1/3rd income of the deceased towards personal expenses. Thus, the compensation, after applying multiplier of 15, comes to `1,50,000/- However, the findings on the other heads shall remain same. FAO No.2092 of 2011 2 In view of above, the present appeal is disposed of. The award of the learned Tribunal is modified to the extent indicated above. 18.7.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) mk JUDGE
