\nM.C.O.P.No.565 of 1993 on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal –
\nPrincipal District Judge, Tuticorin.\n<\/p>\n
\t2. C.M.A.No.1516 of 1997 has been preferred against the award passed in
\nM.C.O.P.No.566 of 1993 on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal –
\nPrincipal District Judge, Tuticorin.\n<\/p>\n
The short facts in brief are as follows:\n<\/p>\n
\t3. On 24.03.1993, one Michael was driving a van bearing Registration
\nNo.TCK-3545 at Tuticorin – Tirunelveli road from east to west along with three
\nother passengers, when the said van was nearing Maravanmadam, the bus belonging
\nto the first respondent \/ appellant bearing Registration No.TCB – 7917 was
\ndriven by its driver in a rash and negligent manner and dashed against the van
\nbearing Registration No.TCK – 3545.  One of the passengers by name Augustian who
\nwas travelling in the said van, died on the spot.  The driver of the van
\nnamerly, Michael sustained grievous injuries and he was taken to the Government
\nHospital, Tuticorin where he died on 29.03.1993, i.e, five days after the date
\nof the accident.  The wife and minor son of the deceased Michael, have preferred
\nM.C.O.P.No.565 of 1993 claiming Rs.4,75,000\/- towards compensation.  The
\nclaimants in M.C.O.P.No.566 of 1993 are the parents of the deceased Jesu
\nArockiam, a passenger in the said van which involved in the accident.  The
\nparents of the deceased Jesu Arockiam have claimed Rs.4,50,000\/- towards
\ncompensation.\n<\/p>\n
\t4. The second respondent remained ex-parte.  The first respondent in his
\ncounter in both the M.C.O.P.Nos.565 of 1993 and 566 of 1993 contended that the
\naccident had not occurred due to the rash and negligent driving of the driver of
\nthe bus belonging to the first respondent bearing Registration No.TCB – 7917 and
\nthat only due to the rash and negligent driving of the driver of the van, the
\naccident had occurred.  The owner of the van and the insured of the van are the
\nnecessary parties.\n<\/p>\n
\t5. Before the learned Tribunal, P.W.1 to P.W.4 were examined and Exs.P.1
\nto P.11 were marked on the side of the claimants.  On the side of the
\nrespondents, the driver of the bus bearing Registration No.TCB – 7917 was
\nexamined as R.W.1 and no exhibits were marked.\n<\/p>\n
\t6. After going through the oral and documentary evidence, the learned
\nTribunal has come to a conclusion that the accident had occurred only  due to
\nthe rash and negligent driving of the driver of the bus bearing Registration
\nNo.TCB – 7917 and awarded a sum of Rs.3,16,500\/- towards compensation to the
\nclaimants in M.C.O.P.No.565 of 1993 and awarded Rs.1,24,500\/- towards
\ncompensation to the claimants in M.C.O.P.No.566 of 1993 with 12% interest and
\nproportionate costs in both the M.C.O.Ps.\n<\/p>\n
\t7. Aggrieved by the award of compensation in M.C.O.P.No.565 of 1993 and
\n566 of 1993, the first respondent \/ State Transport Corporation has preferred
\nthese appeals.\n<\/p>\n
\t8. Now, the points for determination in these appeals are:\n<\/p>\n
\t1) Whether the award of compensation in M.C.O.P.No.565 of 1993 is liable
\nto be reduced for the reasons stated in the Memorandum of appeal in
\nC.M.A.No.1515 of 1997?\n<\/p>\n
\t2) Whether the award of compensation in M.C.O.P.No.566 of 1993 is liable
\nto be reduced for the reasons stated in the Memorandum of appeal in
\nC.M.A.No.1516 of 1997?\n<\/p>\n
Point No:1<\/p>\n
\t9. The quantum of award alone is challenged in C.M.A.No.1515 of 1997.  The
\nlearned Counsel for the appellant would contend that the deceased Michael, the
\ndriver of the van bearing Registration No.TCK- 3545 was aged 25 years at the
\ntime of the accident and according to P.W.1, the first claimant in
\nM.C.O.P.No.565 of 1993, the deceased Michael was a driver holding valid driving
\nlicence under Ex.P.5 and that the learned Tribunal has fixed the monthly income
\nof the deceased Michael as Rs.900\/- adopting 13 as multiplier has awarded a
\ncompensation of Rs.2,88,000\/-.  The learned Counsel would contend that the
\nlearned Tribunal ought to have followed the second Schedule to the Section 163
\n(A) of the Motor Vehicles Act and fixed the loss of income by using multiplier
\n17, since the deceased was aged 25 at the time of the accident.\n<\/p>\n
\t10. The learned Counsel for the respondents relying on the decision in New
\nIndia Assurance Co., Ltd., Vs. Kiran Singh and others reported in 2004 (4) L.W
\n16 and contended that for an engineer aged 27 years who died in an accident, the
\nApex Court has confirmed the award of compensation of Rs.6,25,000\/- wherein
\nalso, the multiplier 43 was adopted by the learned Tribunal which was confirmed
\nby the High Court.  The learned Counsel for the respondent brought to the notice
\nof this  Court that the view taken by the High Court in that case that if the
\nmultiplier is reduced and multiplicand is enhanced, there will not be much
\ndifference in the award of compensation and on that view, the award of
\ncompensation of the learned Tribunal was confirmed.  But, in the judgment what
\nwas the difference if the multiplier is reduced, was not stated, but in the case
\non hand, if we take the evidence of R.W.2, the wife of the deceased, the monthly
\nincome of the deceased was Rs.2,000\/- and if we deduct 1\/3 towards his personal
\nexpenses, then the loss of income to the claimants will come to Rs.1,335\/- per
\nmensum and as per Schedule II to the Section 163(A) of the Motor Vehicles Act,
\nthe relevant multiplier to be adopted is 17.  If we adopt multiplier 17, then
\nthe loss of income will come to Rs.2,72,340\/- [Rs.1,335\/- X 12 X 17 =
\nRs.2,72,340\/-] (Rupees Two lakhs seventy two thousand three hundred and forty)
\nonly.\n<\/p>\n
\t11. The learned Counsel for the respondents relying on the decision in
\nDeepal Girishbhai Soni and others Vs.United India Insurance Co. Ltd., reported
\nin 2004 (4) ACJ 934 and contended that the claimants can either file the claim
\npetition under Section 166 or under Section 163(A) of the Motor Vehicles Act and
\nwould contend that the Schedule II to Section 163(A) will not be applicable to
\nthe present facts of the case.  No doubt in 2004 ACJ 934 (supra), it has been
\nheld by the Apex Court that the choice left to the claimant to prefer the claim
\npetition under Section 166 or under Section 163 (A) of the Motor Vehicles Act.
\nIn the case on hand, the award was passed only after the amendment under Act
\n54\/99 came into force and that is why, the learned Tribunal adopted the
\nmultiplier as per Schedule II to Section 163(A) of the Motor Vehicles Act.  So,
\nthe dictum relied on by the learned Counsel for the respondent will not be
\napplicable to the present facts of the case.\n<\/p>\n
\t12. The learned Tribunal has awarded Rs.2,000\/- towards transport to the
\nhospital and Rs.1,000\/- towards extra nourishment.  The driver of the van
\nnamely, the deceased Michael was in the hospital as an inpatient from 24.03.1993
\nto 29.03.1993.  Ex.P.6 is the post-mortem certificate relating to Michael dated
\n30.03.1993.  The accident had occurred on 24.03.1993.  So, the award of
\ncompensation towards transport to hospital and extra nourishment need not be
\ninterfered with in these appeals.  The learned Tribunal has awarded Rs.500\/-
\ntowards damages to cloth which is also reasonable.  The learned Tribunal has
\nawarded Rs.25,000\/- towards loss of love and affection.  The learned Counsel for
\nthe appellant has no objection for awarding Rs.15,000\/- to the wife of the
\ndeceased towards consortium and Rs.10,000\/- towards loss of love and affection.
\nSo, the total amount of compensation will come to Rs.3,00,840\/- [Rs.2,72,340\/- +
\nRs.2,000\/- + Rs.1,000\/- + Rs.500\/- + Rs.15,000\/- + 10,000\/- = Rs.3,00,840\/-]
\n(Rupees Three lakhs eight hundred and forty) only.\n<\/p>\n
\t13. Hence, I hold on the point No.1 that the award of compensation in
\nM.C.O.P.No.565 of 1993 is to be reduced and fixed as Rs.3,00,840\/- with 12%
\ninterest and proportionate costs.  Point No.1 is answered accordingly.\n<\/p>\n
Point No:2<\/p>\n
\t14. The claimants in M.C.O.P.No.566 of 1993 are the legal heirs of the
\ndeceased Jesu Arockiam who was aged 35 years at the time of the accident.  He
\nwas a mechanic and an electrician at the time of the accident.  The claimants in
\nM.C.O.P.No.566 of 1993 are the parents, brothers and sisters of the deceased.
\nThe learned Counsel appearing for the appellant would contend that he has no
\nobjection for the award amount in M.C.O.P.No.566 of 1993, because the learned
\nTribunal has assessed the loss of income of the deceased on the basis that the
\nmonthly income of the deceased was only Rs.600\/-.  During the course of the
\nargument, the learned Counsel for the appellant represents that he has no
\ndispute with regard to the amount of compensation awarded by the learned
\nTribunal.\n<\/p>\n
\t15. Hence, I hold on the point No.2 that the award of compensation in
\nM.C.O.P.No.566 of 1993 need not be set aside for the reasons stated in the
\nMemorandum of appeal in C.M.A.No.1516 of 1997.  Point No.2 is answered
\naccordingly.\n<\/p>\n
\t16. In the result, C.M.A.No.1515 of 1997 is partly allowed and the award
\nof compensation in M.C.O.P.No.565 of 1993 is reduced and fixed as Rs.3,00,840\/-
\n(Rupees Three lakhs eight hundred and forty) only.  The claimants are entitled
\nto 12% interest from the date of petition till the date of realisation with
\nproportionate costs.  The first claimant is entitled to withdraw Rs.1,00,000\/-
\n(Rupees one lakh) only at the first instance from the award amount.  The minor
\nsecond claimant is entitled to Rs.1,00,000\/- (Rupees one lakh) only and the
\nshare of the minor second claimant is to be deposited in any one of the
\nnationalised banks till the minor attains majority.  The first claimant as the
\nguardian is entitled to withdraw the accrued interest from the fixed deposit of
\nthe minor second claimant once in three months.  The balance of the award amount
\nis to be deposited in any one of the nationalised bank with accrued interest for
\nthree years.  The first claimant is entitled to withdraw the accrued interest
\nonce in three months from the said fixed deposit amount.  The learned Counsel
\nappearing for the appellant represents that the entire award amount has already
\nbeen deposited and under such circumstances, the appellant is entitled to
\nwithdraw the balance of the award amount with accrued interest and proportionate
\ncosts.  C.M.A.No.1516 of 1997 is dismissed, confirming the award passed in
\nM.C.O.P.No.566 of 1993 on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal –
\nPrincipal District Judge, Tuticorin.\n<\/p>\n
