Smt.Sayar Bai and Others. VERSUS Shri Gopallal and Others. 12.11.2009. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE DALIP SINGH Mr.K.N.Tiwari, for the appellants. Mr.B.N.Sandhu ] Mr.Rakesh Kumar ] for the respondents. ***** Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the award passed by the learned Tribunal. This appeal has been filed by the claimants for enhancement of the compensation on account of the death of Ramchandra who died in a road accident on 12.08.1988 involving the motor vehicle bearing registration No.RSY-6792 and RNP-1606. The short submission of the learned counsel for the appellants is that the learned Tribunal has erred in refusing to accept the earning of the deceased as Rs.3,000/- for which the evidence has been led by the claimants. In the alternative, learned counsel for the appellants submitted that even otherwise the Act itself has provided for taking a notional annual income of Rs.15,000/- per annum in the case of non-earning persons. It is submitted that if that is taken into consideration then the learned Tribunal has erred in 2 S.B.CIVIL MISC. APPEAL NO.1814/2000. Smt.Sumitra Devi & Ors. VS Kan Singh & Ors. taking the monthly income of the deceased as Rs.800/-. This fact is not disputed. The age of the deceased has been held to be 40 years by the learned Tribunal at the time of accident and, therefore, the multiplier of 16 ought to have been adopted by the learned Tribunal. In the facts and circumstances, therefore, the computation of compensation on account of loss of income for the death of Ramchandra is assessed as follows:- Rs.15,000/- X 16 = Rs.2,40,000/-. Since the learned Tribunal has already awarded an amount of Rs.78,000/- towards loss of income, in the instant case. The appellants would be entitled to the additional amount of Rs.1,62,000/- with interest @ 6% per annum from the date of filing of the appeal which is 25.05.2000 upto the date of realization. This amount shall be paid by means of a demand draft in favour of the claimants before the learned Tribunal. The appeal accordingly stands allowed to the extent, as aforesaid. There shall be no order as to costs. (DALIP SINGH),J. Solanki DS, Jr.P.A.
