IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR. S.B.CIVIL MISC. APPEAL No.1899/2000 Smt.Sheela Devi & Ors. vs. Bajrang & Anr. 20.08.2009 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G.S. SARRAF *** Mr.Vikram Singh on behalf of Mr.Tanoop Kumar, for claimants appellants. The claimants appellants have filed this appeal against the award dated 28.7.2000 passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (Rajasthan State Cooperative Tribunal) Jaipur in motor accident claim case no.427/95. It is not necessary to narrate the facts of the case as the short controversy is that whether the compensation awarded by the Tribunal in this case is fair and reasonable? Learned Tribunal has assessed the income of the deceased as Rs.1500/- per month out of which Rs.468/- have been deducted on account of personal expenses of the deceased. Learned Tribunal after arriving at a conclusion that the deceased was 25 years old at the time of the accident has adopted a multiplier of 18. Learned Tribunal has thus assessed the dependency at Rs.1032X12X18= Rs.2,22,912/- and after adding Rs.10,000/- on various counts has passed a total award of Rs.2,32,912/- in favour of the claimants appellants. Heard learned counsel for the claimants appellants. Though according to the salary certificate the pay of the deceased was Rs.670/- per month but still learned Tribunal has assessed his income as Rs.1500/- per month. Learned Tribunal has also deducted less than 1/3 of the income on account of personal expenses of the deceased. Learned Tribunal has adopted a multiplier of 18 which is appropriate looking to the age of the deceased. It is thus clear that learned Tribunal has been quite generous in awarding the compensation amount and there is, therefore, no ground for enhancement. Consequently, the appeal stands dismissed. (G.S.
