The tribunal, after finding that the<\/p>\n<p>driver of the vehicle insured by the appellant insurance company<\/p>\n<p>was responsible for the accident, awarded an amount of Rs.<\/p>\n<p>18,45,000\/- with interest at the rate of 9% per annum from the date<\/p>\n<p>of application till its deposit. Only dispute in this appeal is regarding<\/p>\n<p>the quantum of compensation.\n<\/p>\n<p>            2. According to the claimant, he was employed as an<\/p>\n<p>Office Executive of Al Mansouri Group of Estates, Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A16 is the B.A. degree certificate. Ext.A17 shows that he was a<\/p>\n<p>member of the National Service Scheme.              Ext.A18 shows that<\/p>\n<p>appellant had completed M.A. degree course.            According to the<\/p>\n<p>claimants, he did not write the examination because he got an<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">M.F.A.No.1230\/2002                2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>employment in Gulf. Ext.A20 shows that he was a member of the<\/p>\n<p>College Athletic team. Ext.A22 shows that he attended a computer<\/p>\n<p>course. Ext.A23 shows that he was working as a Secretary in 1993<\/p>\n<p>and his salary was 1,500 Dirhum.     Exchange rate of Dirhum was<\/p>\n<p>Rs.10.     The tribunal has calculated the compensation taking<\/p>\n<p>Rs.15,000\/- as the monthly income and after deducting one-third,<\/p>\n<p>Rs.10,000\/- was taken as the monthly loss of dependency. 15 was<\/p>\n<p>taken as the multiplier and compensation was awarded. Passport<\/p>\n<p>was not produced and marked.       I.A. No.3151 of 2001 was filed<\/p>\n<p>before the Tribunal by the appellant insurance company calling<\/p>\n<p>upon the legal heirs of the deceased to produce the passport and<\/p>\n<p>visa. No such documents were produced showing that the accident<\/p>\n<p>occurred during the period when he came on leave. Exts.A23 and<\/p>\n<p>A24 certificates were issued by the employer showing that he was<\/p>\n<p>employed in the year 1993. It is the contention of the insurance<\/p>\n<p>company that the claimant lost his employment and he had no job<\/p>\n<p>on the date of the accident. Original of the passport shows that he<\/p>\n<p>had no visa to go back and he returned from Gulf months before the<\/p>\n<p>accident. That shows that he had no job in Gulf at the time of<\/p>\n<p>accident, but, at the same time he was employed in Gulf,        he<\/p>\n<p>studied upto M.A. He was working abroad. There is likelihood that<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">M.F.A.No.1230\/2002                3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>he may go back. Assuming that he may go back also, when he is<\/p>\n<p>abroad, his expenses in abroad for boarding and lodging will be<\/p>\n<p>higher and there is likelihood of marriage also. The tribunal has<\/p>\n<p>taken average age of the mother and father and the age of the<\/p>\n<p>deceased (as 26) and 15 as the multiplier. We see no ground to<\/p>\n<p>differ from the finding of the tribunal.   Considering the overall<\/p>\n<p>aspect of the matter and his educational qualification and<\/p>\n<p>employment etc., we are of the opinion that at least Rs.3,000\/- can<\/p>\n<p>be fixed as the monthly loss of dependency to the family. If that be<\/p>\n<p>so, compensation payable will be Rs.3000 x 12 x 15 = Rs.5,40,000\/-.<\/p>\n<p>The tribunal has awarded Rs.15,000\/- for funeral expenses. We are<\/p>\n<p>of the opinion that only Rs.5,000\/- can be awarded towards<\/p>\n<p>transportation and funeral expenses.       Tribunal has awarded<\/p>\n<p>Rs.15,000\/- towards loss of estate and Rs.15,000\/- towards loss of<\/p>\n<p>love and affection. We are not interfering with the same. We are<\/p>\n<p>also of the view that Rs.10,000\/= can be awarded for pain and<\/p>\n<p>suffering.      He died in the Medical College Hospital.        For<\/p>\n<p>loss\/damages to clothing including a wrist watch etc. and also for<\/p>\n<p>life saving treatment given in the last moment, Rs.5,000\/- more is<\/p>\n<p>awarded for the above. Therefore, total compensation payable will<\/p>\n<p>be Rs.5,90,000\/-.    The above amount should be deposited by the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">M.F.A.No.1230\/2002                   4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>appellant insurance company with interest and proportionate cost at<\/p>\n<p>the rate awarded by the tribunal after deducting the amount already<\/p>\n<p>deposited.\n<\/p>\n<p>              The appeal is disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                 J.B.Koshy<br \/>\n                                                   Judge<\/p>\n<p>                                                 K.
