FAO No. 2350 of 1998 1 In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh … FAO No. 2350 of 1998 Date of decision: December 1,2008 Smt. Santra Devi and others ..Appellants. Versus Virender and others ..Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Rakesh Kumar Garg Present: None ... Rakesh Kumar Garg,J. This is claimants appeal for enhancement of compensation. On 14.3.1996, Hira Lal, husband of claimant No.1 and father of claimant-appellant Nos.2 to 4 died in a Motor Vehicle Accident due to rash and negligent driving of Bus No. HNG 2232 driven by respondent No.1. At the time of accident, the age of Hira Lal, deceased was stated to be 45/50 years. The monthly income of the deceased was assessed as Rs.2000/- P.M. After deducting 1/3rd of this amount which the deceased was spending for maintaining himself, the balance amount of Rs. 1334/-P.M. was determined for his annual dependency. After applying a multiplier of 11, a total compensation of Rs.1,76,088 was granted by the Tribunal. I have perused the impugned award. As per the evidence produced on record, PW 9 Bishambar had deposed that he used to buy milk from Hira Lal deceased and he had also produced Ex.P6 i.e., Account Book pertaining to the earning of Hira Lal from the sale of milk and according to this, Hira Lal used to earn Rs.2000/- P.M. No other evidence has been produced on record to show that Hira Lal was having other income which was not taken into account while making determination of his monthly income. Keeping in view the age of the FAO No. 2350 of 1998 2 deceased, the multiplier of 11 has rightly been applied in this case. I find no ground to enhance the compensation. Dismissed.
