IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** FAO No.6686 of 2010 Date of Decision:26.04.2011 Ishwanti and another .....Appellant Vs. Gobind Singh and another .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG Present:- Mr. Ashit Malik, Advocate for the appellants. **** RAKESH KUMAR GARG, J. (Oral) This is claimants' appeal for enhancement of compensation. Vide impugned award, while determining total compensation at Rs.3,07,000/- on account of death of Monu Kumar in a motor vehicle accident, the Tribunal determined monthly income of the deceased at Rs.3300/- and thereafter, applied a cut for his personal expenses and determined the monthly dependency at Rs.1650/-. The Tribunal further adopted a multiplier of 15 for calculating the compensation. Challenging the aforesaid award, learned counsel for the appellants has argued that multiplier of 15 is on the lower side and the same should have been 18 keeping in view the age of the deceased. Learned counsel has further argued that a cut of 50% has been applied on the monthly income of the deceased which is on the higher side. I have heard the learned counsel for the appellants and perused FAO No.6686 of 2010 -2- the impugned award. Appellants are the middle-aged parents of the deceased. The age of the deceased was 20 years at the time of accident. The Tribunal has applied the cut on monthly income, for expenses of the deceased and multiplier, keeping in view all the relevant factors, such as age of the dependent parents and the deceased and also his income. There is no evidence on record which has been ignored. No fault can be found in the aforesaid findings of the Tribunal. Dismissed. April 26, 2011 ( RAKESH KUMAR GARG ) renu JUDGE
