SBCMA No.1555/2008 United India Insurance Co. Ltd. Vs. Smt. Pyar Kanwar & Ors. -1- SBCMA No.1555/2008 United India Insurance Co. Ltd. Vs. Smt. Pyar Kanwar & Ors. DATE OF ORDER : - 5.1.2009 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA, J. Mr. Manoj Bhandari, for the appellant. <><><> Heard learned counsel for the appellant. By impugned award five claim cases were decided by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Rajsamand and appeal has been preferred against one of the award, which was passed in Motor Accident Claim Case No.383/2003. The challenge is on the ground that the tribunal has applied the multiplier of 16 for a person having age of 49 years at the time of death. According to learned counsel for the appellant the multiplier could have been applied of 13 only and by applying the multiplier of 16, the tribunal has awarded excess amount of about Rs.1,50,000/- to the claimants. The normal process of application of multiplier as SBCMA No.1555/2008 United India Insurance Co. Ltd. Vs. Smt. Pyar Kanwar & Ors. -2- provided in the Schedule appended to Section 163A of the Motor Vehicles Act is accepted, but looking to the facts of the present case where the tribunal has awarded compensation to the wife of deceased Rs.5,000/- only for loss of consortium and love and affection of her husband and awarded compensation of Rs.5,000/- each to the five decedents, I do not find that the award is high so as to call for any interference by this Court while exercising appellate jurisdiction. According to learned counsel for the appellant, the rest of the awards, which have been passed in that claim case has been satisfied. In view of the above reasons, I do not find any reason to entertain this appeal. Hence, the appeal of the appellant is dismissed. (PRAKASH TATIA), J. c.p.goyal/-
