Silampayee (Minors 6 to 8 are represented by Next Friend their mother and second appellant herein.) ...Respondents/Petitioners PRAYER: Civil Miscellaneous Appeal filed under Section 173 of Motor Vehicles Act, 1998 against the judgment and decree, dated 17.06.2005 made in M.A.C.O.P.No.264 of 2002, on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (Sub-Judge), Pudukkottai. For Appellant : M/s.R.Arunmozhi For Respondents : M/s.R.P.Ramachanthiran 1 to 7 JUDGMENT The appellant herein is the respondent/transport corporation whose vehicle was involved in the accident and whose driver was found to be solely at fault for the accident which occurred at 5.00 p.m. on 27.06.2002 at Marappapatti Vilakku Road, resulting in the death of the husband of the claimants 1 and 2 and father of claimants 3 to 8. The award of the tribunal is questioned only by disputing the correctness of the quantum of compensation. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 2. According to the learned counsel for the appellant the income fixed by the Tribunal at Rs.2,000/-p.m. is without any evidence and the loss of income assessed at Rs.2,40,000/- based on such monthly income is too high. In my considered view, considering the period during which the accident occurred and the nature of the avocation of the deceased, the monthly income of Rs.2,000/- fixed by the Tribunal is just and reasonable and hence, neither the monthly income nor the total loss of income or loss of dependency assessed by the Tribunal warrants any interference. 3. In the result, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is dismissed. Consequently, connected Civil Miscellaneous Petition is dismissed. No costs.
