The facts leading to these appeals in brief are these: The<\/p>\n<p>claimants    are the wife, major sons and daughters of deceased<\/p>\n<p>Kunchutharakan.      The deceased was aged 72 at the time of the<\/p>\n<p>accident and was an agriculturist earning Rs.3000\/- per month,<\/p>\n<p>according to the claimants.         On    December 11, 2001 at        about<\/p>\n<p>9.45 a.m. the deceased was standing on the southern side of<\/p>\n<p>Cherupalchery &#8211; Palakkad road at Mangode.             At that time he was<\/p>\n<p>knocked down by the KSRTC bus bearing registration No.KL15\/1390.<\/p>\n<p>The deceased sustained serious injuries and he succumbed to the<\/p>\n<p>injuries sustained while undergoing treatment at Amala Hospital on<\/p>\n<p>December 27, 2001.           According to the claimants the accident<\/p>\n<p>occurred due to the     negligence on the part of the 1st        respondent,<\/p>\n<p>driver of the KSRTC bus.      The 1st respondent as the driver and the<\/p>\n<p>M.A.C.A.23\/2005 &amp; 1107\/2004<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2nd respondent as the owner of the offending bus are jointly and<\/p>\n<p>severally liable to pay compensation to the claimants who are the legal<\/p>\n<p>heirs and dependents of the deceased.         The claimants claimed a<\/p>\n<p>compensation of Rs.2,50,000\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3. Respondents 1 and 2 in their written statement admitted the<\/p>\n<p>accident, but contended that there was no negligence on the part of<\/p>\n<p>the 1st respondent and that the accident occurred while the deceased<\/p>\n<p>attempted to cross the road suddenly.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.   PW.1 was examined and      Exts.A1 to A10 were marked on<\/p>\n<p>the side of the claimants before the Tribunal. Respondent No.1 was<\/p>\n<p>examined as RW.1 on the side of the respondents.                On an<\/p>\n<p>appreciation of evidence the Tribunal found that the accident occurred<\/p>\n<p>due to the negligence on the part of the 1st respondent and awarded<\/p>\n<p>a compensation of Rs.1,15,650\/- with interest @ 9% per annum from<\/p>\n<p>the date of petition till realisation and a cost of Rs.1250\/-.     The<\/p>\n<p>claimants have now      in   M.A.C.A.23\/2005 claimed enhancement of<\/p>\n<p>the compensation awarded.        The 2nd respondent KSRTC has filed<\/p>\n<p>M.A.C.A. 1107\/2004      contending that the compensation awarded is<\/p>\n<p>excessive.\n<\/p>\n<p>     5.     Heard the counsel for the appellants in both these appeals.<\/p>\n<p>As both these appeals arise out of the same judgment, they are<\/p>\n<p>M.A.C.A.23\/2005 &amp; 1107\/2004<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>disposed of by this common judgment.\n<\/p>\n<p>     6.     The counsel for the claimants submitted that the<\/p>\n<p>compensation awarded by the Tribunal is inadequate and claimed<\/p>\n<p>enhancement of the compensation for the loss of dependency, pain<\/p>\n<p>and suffering endured by the deceased, loss of consortium, towards<\/p>\n<p>medical expenses and for loss of love and affection.<\/p>\n<p>     7. Counsel for the appellant in MACA 1107\/2004 i.e. KSRTC<\/p>\n<p>submitted that the compensation awarded           is excessive as the<\/p>\n<p>deceased was aged 72 at the time of the accident.           He further<\/p>\n<p>contended that the Tribunal should have believed the evidence of<\/p>\n<p>RW.1, driver of the bus, and held that the accident occurred while the<\/p>\n<p>deceased attempted to cross the road.\n<\/p>\n<p>     8. The following points arise for consideration:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>           I. Whether the finding of the Tribunal that the accident<\/p>\n<p>           occurred due to negligence on the part of the 1st<\/p>\n<p>           respondent can be sustained?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\n           II. Whether the compensation awarded by the Tribunal is<\/p>\n<p>           excessive?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\n           III.   If not, whether the claimants are entitled to any<\/p>\n<p>           enhanced compensation?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>M.A.C.A.23\/2005 &amp; 1107\/2004<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      9. On the side of the claimants PW.1, the 6th respondent, was<\/p>\n<p>examined.     The Tribunal disbelieved the evidence of RW.1, driver of<\/p>\n<p>the KSRTC bus, that the accident occurred when the deceased<\/p>\n<p>suddenly attempted to cross the road, for obvious reasons. Further,<\/p>\n<p>police has charged a case against the 1st respondent.       Therefore we<\/p>\n<p>find no reason to come to a different conclusion. In our view the<\/p>\n<p>Tribunal is perfectly justified in finding that the accident occurred due<\/p>\n<p>to the negligence on the part of the 1st respondent.<\/p>\n<p>      10.      The   Tribunal    awarded     a   total  compensation   of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1,15,650\/-.     The break up of the compensation awarded is as<\/p>\n<p>under:-\n<\/p>\n<pre>loss of dependency                         - Rs.60,000\/-\n\npain and sufferings                         -    10,000\/-\n\nbystander's expenses                        -     2,250\/-\n\nmedical expenses                            -    33,400\/-\n\nloss of consortium                          -     5,000\/-\n\nloss of estate and funeral expenses         -     5,000\/-\n\n\n\n<\/pre>\n<p>      11.     The Tribunal took the monthly income of the deceased as<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1500\/-.    After deducting 1\/3rd for his personal expenses, the<\/p>\n<p>balance amount of Rs.1000\/- is taken as his monthly contribution to<\/p>\n<p>his family, which comes to Rs.12,000\/- per annum.             Taking into<\/p>\n<p>M.A.C.A.23\/2005 &amp; 1107\/2004<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>consideration the age of the deceased, a multiplier of 5 was adopted<\/p>\n<p>and the Tribunal granted Rs.60,000\/- towards loss of dependency.<\/p>\n<p>Taking into consideration the age of the claimants and the fact that the<\/p>\n<p>children are all major and married persons,         we feel that the<\/p>\n<p>compensation awarded by the Tribunal towards loss of dependency is<\/p>\n<p>reasonable and not excessive.\n<\/p>\n<p>      12.   The Tribunal awarded Rs.10,000\/- towards pain and<\/p>\n<p>suffering endured by the deceased which appears to be very low. The<\/p>\n<p>deceased died about 16 days after the incident. Therefore we feel that<\/p>\n<p>a compensation of Rs.15,000\/- would be reasonable for the pain and<\/p>\n<p>suffering endured by the deceased.\n<\/p>\n<p>      13.    Towards    medical   expenses    the   Tribunal   awarded<\/p>\n<p>Rs.33,400\/-.   But the claimants produced bills worth Rs.61,865\/-,<\/p>\n<p>according to the claimants.     That apart, the deceased was in the<\/p>\n<p>hospital for 16 days.   Therefore we feel that a     compensation of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.50,000\/- would be reasonable towards medical expenses.<\/p>\n<p>      14.  Rs.5000\/- was awarded by the Tribunal for the loss of<\/p>\n<p>consortium which appears to be quite inadequate.                In the<\/p>\n<p>circumstances of the case, we feel that a compensation of Rs.10,000\/-<\/p>\n<p>would be reasonable on this count.\n<\/p>\n<p>      15. No compensation was awarded by the Tribunal for loss of<\/p>\n<p>M.A.C.A.23\/2005 &amp; 1107\/2004<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>love and affection. Taking into consideration the age of the deceased<\/p>\n<p>and the claimants, we feel that a compensation of Rs.15,000\/- would<\/p>\n<p>be reasonable for loss of love and affection.<\/p>\n<p>      16.   Thus the claimants are found entitled to an additional<\/p>\n<p>compensation of Rs.41,600\/- with interest @ 9% per annum from the<\/p>\n<p>date of petition till realisation.\n<\/p>\n<p>       As we have found that the compensation awarded by the<\/p>\n<p>Tribunal is not excessive and awarded enhancement of the<\/p>\n<p>compensation, M.A.C.A.1107\/2004 is dismissed and M.A.C.A.23\/2005<\/p>\n<p>is disposed of as found above. The 2nd     respondent in the O.P., who<\/p>\n<p>is the appellant in M.A.C.A.1107\/2004 shall deposit the enhanced<\/p>\n<p>compensation with interest and costs within two months from the date<\/p>\n<p>of   receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the claimants.<\/p>\n<p>The award of the Tribunal is modified to the above extent.<\/p>\n<p>                                         A.K. BASHEER, JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>                                         P.Q.
