ORAL ORDER ( 2nd December 2005) The following order of the Court was passed hy‘ S. R. Nayak, C.J. 1. While assailing the correctness of the impugned awaid in this appeal preferred by the claimants what was urged by leaxned counsel is that the multiplier applied by the Tribluial for assessing the loss of dependency is not appropriate multiplier. We do not think so. It is pointed out that on the date of the death of the son the age of the mother was 45 years and age of the father was 47 years and the average age of the parents was 46 years and therefore, the multiplier of 13 was applied by the M.A.C.T. to the a loss of dependency is correct. No other point was urged before us. The appeal is devoid of merits. It is dismissed accordingly. No costs. w i Sd/ \\ sdl- Satish K. Agnihotn' 1 . Chief Jusu‘ce l Judge \ K. ' Judge \ '\
