1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR, BENCH AT JAIPUR JUDGMENT SB Civil Misc. Appeal No.4534/2008 Prakash Chandra v/s Abdul Waheed & Ors. Date of Judgment ::: 18th November,2008 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Narendra Kumar Jain Shri Vinay Mathur, for the appellant. By the Court: Heard learned counsel for the appellant. The injured-appellant has preferred this appeal for enhancement of amount of compensation in respect of injuries sustained by him in motor accident which took place on 6.2.2000 and being aggrieved with the impugned award dated 11.7.2006 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Tonk, whereby the learned Tribunal has awarded total compensation of Rs.2,39,040/- with interest @ 6% p.a. from the date of claim application i.e. 1.4.2000 upto the date of payment. Learned counsel for the appellant has contended that the amount of compensation awarded in the present case is inadequate but he is unable to point out any specific head wherein the amount of compensation has not been awarded properly. 2 I have examined the impugned award passed by the Tribunal, particularly; the finding of issue No.4 relating to quantum of compensation. AW 1 Prakash Chand in his statement stated that at the time of accident, he was earning Rs.10,000/- to Rs.12,000/- per month but he did not produce any certificate or document on record to prove his income. The learned Tribunal assessed his monthly income as Rs.1,800/- per month and awarded Rs.10,800/- for loss of income for six months during which he remained under treatment. The Tribunal further awarded Rs.60,000/- for medical expenses, transportation charges, nutritious food etc. He suffered 40% permanent disability and in view of his age, in between 35 to 40 years, applied the multiplier of 16 and on the basis of his monthly income of Rs.1,800/-, awarded compensation of Rs.1,38,240/-. Rs.30,000/- has further been awarded for physical pain and mental agony. The Tribunal has also awarded interest @ 6% p.a. from the date of claim application. The Tribunal is required to pass an award u/s 168 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 which appears to be just, fair and reasonable. After considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of injuries, percentage of permanent disablement, the age and income of the injured, I am satisfied that the amount of compensation of 3 Rs.2,39,040/- awarded in the present case, appears to be just and reasonable and no interference in it, is called for. In view of the above discussions, I do not find any merit in this appeal and the same is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. (N.K. Jain),J. Chauhan/
