Adalat Road, Aurangabad Through its authorized Signatory Mr.Vishwas s/o Bansi Gaikwad - APPELLANT VERSUS 1) Sumit s/o Hemchand Jain and Ors. - RESPONDENTS ***** Mr.Dhananjay Deshpande,Advocate for Appellant; Mr.RB Muley, Advocate for Resp.No.1. ----- CORAM : K.U.CHANDIWAL, J. DATE : 18th March, 2010. PER COURT : 1) Heard both the Counsel. The matter is finally disposed of at admission stage. 2) The appellant/insurance company feels aggrieved by the orders in MACP No. 659/2006 dated 9.5.2008, recorded by learned Judge, 2 granting Award of Rs. 2,08,000/- inclusive of amount receivable under principle of no fault liability with interest thereon @ 7.5% p.a.. 3) Mr.Deshpande appearing for the appellant/insurance company, justifiably informs, when the claimant was a student, though as stated to be working with his father, could barely be expected to have future loss of income to earn interest. 4) The finding recorded by the learned Judge in respect of the medical bills to the tune of Rs.45,000/-, having been so established, does not w arrant any interference. The injured/claimant suffered 22% permanent disability, his potential work has been reduced. The learned Judge has indeed graciously worked out with logic the income to be Rs.660/- per month and made the application of multiplier. The contention that future interest should have been avoided, in the set of above facts, will have to 3 be restricted not for whole amount, but to the amount of Rs.1,42,000/-, which the learned Judge treated as loss of prospective earnings. Hence order. 5) The appeal is partly allowed. No change in the award of Rs.2,08,000/-, however, interest @ 7.5% p.a. shall be payable from the date of claim petition on Rs.64,000/-. No change in rest of the order. The Civil Applications disposed of. (K.U.CHANDIWAL) JUDGE bdv/fa3298.08
