S.B.Civil Misc. Appeal No 1382/08 RSRTC & anr. v. Mahendra Dave & ors. . 1 S.B.Civil Misc. Appeal No 1382/2008 RSRTC & anr. vs.Mahendra Dave & ors. Date of Order: 25.9.2008. PRESENT HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA, J. Mr. Anil Bachhawat for the appellants. ... Heard learned counsel for the appellants. The learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Pali committed serious error of law by awarding compensation to the claimants, when the claimants failed to prove that the deceased Kanhaiya Lal died because of the accident caused by the bus of the appellants. It appears from the evidence on record that the claimants produced the relevant documents obtained from the police station which includes the FIR which was lodged within 50 minutes from the time of accident and the tribunal relied upon the facts mentioned in the FIR as well as relied upon the site inspection report and the mechanical examination report of the appellant's bus which is Ex.P.10 and found that the bus was seized and head light of the bus was broken. In view of the above reason, I do not find that the tribunal has committed any illegality in holding that the accident was caused by the bus of the appellant. The quantum awarded to the claimants is also not S.B.Civil Misc. Appeal No 1382/08 RSRTC & anr. v. Mahendra Dave & ors. . 2 in any manner excessive when a retired teacher died. His notional income was accepted as Rs.3000/- per month and the multiplier of five was applied by the learned tribunal. In view of the above, I do not find any merit in this appeal. Hence the appeal of the appellants is dismissed. (PRAKASH TATIA),J. mlt
