[1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR JUDGMENT S.B. CIVIL MISC. APPEAL NO. 610/1998 SMT. MANBHARI & ORS. Vs. MURARI LAL & ORS. Date: 17.03.2008. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.S. RATHORE Mr. Sandeep Mathur for the claimants-appellants. Mr. Ram Singh Bhati for the respondent No.3. **** The claimants/appellants have preferred the present civil misc. appeal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 for enhancement of the award passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Jaipur District, Jaipur (for short 'the Tribunal') in M.A.C. Case No. 89/1993, whereby an award to the tune of Rs. 1,98,000/- has been passed in favour of the claimants/appellants. Learned counsel appearing for the claimants/ appellants without challenging the other part of the impugned Award, only submits that as admitted by the Tribunal that at the time of death the deceased was 27 years of age, instead of multiplier of 18, multiplier of 14 has wrongly been applied by the Tribunal. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent Insurance Company does not dispute that the deceased was 27 years of age at the time of death and as per the Schedule, multiplier of 18 is applicable. [2] Having heard rival submissions of the respective parties, carefully going through the impugned Award dated 22.04.96 and looking to the age of the deceased, as the Tribunal has not applied the correct multiplier by applying the multiplier of 18, the compensation awarded in favour of the claimants/ appellants to the tune of Rs. 1,98,000/- is lump sum enhanced to the tune of Rs. 2,46,000/-. The respondent Insurance Company is directed to make the payment of the enhanced compensation amount to the claimants/appellants within a period of two months, failing which the Insurance Company will have to make the payment of the enhanced amount with interest @ 6% p.a. With these observations, the civil misc. appeal stands disposed of and the impugned Award dated 22.04.96 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Jaipur District, Jaipur is modified to the extent as indicated herein above. Record be sent back. (K.S. RATHORE)J. /KKC/ (Hearing)
