THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU MACMA No. 763 of 2011 JUDGMENT: 1. This appeal has been preferred by the appellants/insurance company aggrieved by the order dated 21.11.2005 in Original Petition No.723 of 2004 on the file of the Chairman, Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Tribunal (District Judge), Warangal, whereunder and whereby the respondents 1 to 3/claimants were awarded compensation of Rs.3,78,000/- for the death of one Chevagani Madhu in a motor vehicle accident on 30.06.2004. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The only contention of the learned counsel for the appellants/insurance company is that the Claims Tribunal applied wrong multiplier. The Claims Tribunal applied multiplier ‘15’. In view of the decision in Sarla Varma v. Delhi Transport Corporation[1], the correct multiplier to be applied for calculating loss of dependency in case of death of a person aged 38 years is ‘15’. Therefore, the Claims Tribunal applied the correct multiplier and there are no grounds to interfere with the impugned order. 4. The Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. --------------------- (K.C.Bhanu, J.) 30.03.2011 DRK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU MACMA No. 763 of 2011 30.03.2011 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU MACMA No. 763 of 2011 30.03.2011 Between: The New India Assurance Co.
