AO No.70/2009 Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J. This appeal, under Section 173 of Motor Vehicles Act, has been preferred by the claimants, for enhancement of amount of compensation, against the judgment and award dated 21.10.2008 passed by MACT/District Judge, Udham Singh Nagar, in M.A.C.P. No. 174/2009. Heard Sri Pratiroop Pandey, learned counsel for appellants-claimants, Sri Sarvesh Agrawal, learned counsel for repondent no. 2 and perused the record. After having considered the entire material available on record and hearing learned counsel for the parties, I am of the view that impugned judgment and award does not suffer with infirmity. The learned Tribunal in absence of any cogent and reliable evidence with regard to income of deceased has rightly taken into account the notional income of deceased as Rs.36,000/- per annum, which after deducting one-third towards personal expenses, has been worked out to Rs.24,000/- per annum. The multiplier of ‘16’ selected by the Tribunal keeping in view the age of deceased, appears to be a just and proper multiplier in this case. The amount awarded by the Tribunal under other heads also appears to be completely justified and needs no interference. As far as interest part is concerned, the same also appears to be justified and does not require any interference. Therefore, appeal lacks merit and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, appeal is dismissed in limine. The impugned judgment and award dated 21.10.2008 is hereby confirmed. (B.C.K., J.) 23.07.2009 SP
