Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: None. ***** A.N.JINDAL, J(ORAL): This appeal for enhancement is directed against the award dated 17.04.1990, passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Gurgaon (herein referred as 'the Tribunal'), awarding compensation to the tune of Rs.1,44,000/- alongwith interest @ 12% per annum in favour of the appellants-claimants (herein referred as 'the claimants') and against the respondents jointly and severally on account of the death of Joginder Singh in a motor vehicular accident. The case has been referred to Lok Adalat but none appeared on behalf of the appellant before it. Today, also neither the appellants nor their counsel has appeared to press their view point. The deceased was 38 years old. The Tribunal while assessing his income @ Rs.1200/- per month and after deducting 1/3rd which he must be contributing towards himself applied the multiplier of 16 and awarding compensation to the tune of Rs.1,44,000/- which is quite fair, adequate and reasonable. No grounds for enhancement. Dismissed. (A.N.Jindal) Judge 23.11.2009 mamta-II
