In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh F.A.O. No.2335 of 2004 Date of decision: December 18, 2009 Aasu and others .. Appellants Vs. Nawab Khan and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Jai Singh Yadav, Advocate for the appellants. Mr. D.R. Bansal, Advocate for the respondent No.4. A.N. Jindal, J This appeal for enhancement is directed against the award dated 22.10.2003 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Gurgaon, awarding compensation to the tune of Rs.1,78,000/- along with interest @ 9% per annum in favour of the claimants-appellants and against the respondents. The deceased was 20 years old unmarried son. The Tribunal on appreciation of the entire evidence rightly assessed the monthly income of the deceased @ Rs.1800/- per month. The appellant No.1 being the father cannot be said to be dependent upon the deceased. Similarly, appellant No.2 being wife of the appellant No.1 is dependent upon the appellant No.1. The remaining claimants are brothers and sisters of the deceased to be maintained by the appellant No.1. In any case, the Tribunal after assessing the notional income of the deceased and after applying the multiplier keeping in view the age of the parents, awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.1,78,000/- along with interest @ 9% per annum which appears to be quite adequate, fair and reasonable. No grounds to interfere. Dismissed. December 18, 2009 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
