1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR, BENCH AT JAIPUR JUDGMENT SB Civil Misc. Appeal No.4437/2008 Laxmi Devi & Ors. v/s Ramchandra & Ors. Date of Judgment ::: 12th November,2008 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Narendra Kumar Jain Shri Gaurav Gupta, for the appellants. By the Court: Heard learned counsel for the appellants. The claimants-appellants have preferred this appeal for enhancement of amount of compensation in respect of death of deceased Brijendra Kumar who died in motor accident took place on 5.12.2006 and being aggrieved with the impugned award dated 18.7.2008 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kotputali, whereby the learned Tribunal awarded total compensation of Rs.2,40,000/- in their favour. Learned counsel for the appellants has contended that looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, the amount of compensation awarded in the present case is inadequate, therefore, the same may be enhanced reasonably. I have considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the appellants and examined the impugned award, particularly; the 2 finding of issue No.2 relating to the quantum of compensation. The age, income of the deceased and multiplier used in the case, have not been disputed by the learned counsel for the appellants during the course of arguments. The deceased was 16 years of age. The Tribunal assessed his notional annual income of Rs.15,000/- and applied the multiplier of 16. Normally; 1/3 amount is deducted for personal expenses of the deceased but in the present case, the same has also not been deducted and the entire amount of Rs.2,40,000/- as calculated, has been awarded by the Tribunal. After considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, I find that the amount of compensation awarded in the present case, appears to be just and reasonable and no interference in it, is called for. In view of the above discussion, I do not find any merit in this appeal and the same is accordingly dismissed in limine. (N.K. Jain),J. Chauhan/
