KAILASH GAMBHIR, J. Oral:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
1.           The present appeal arises out of the award dated<\/p>\n
12.8.2002 of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal whereby the<\/p>\n
Tribunal awarded a sum of Rs. 1,83,160\/- along with interest @<\/p>\n
9% per annum to the claimants.\n<\/p>\n
 FAO No. 695\/2002                             Page 1 of 9<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
 2.           The brief conspectus of the facts is as follows:<\/p>\n
             On 21.4.1994 deceased Shri Rajinder Kumar Kohli was<\/p>\n
going from Maya Puri Road towards Hari nagar on his motorcycle<\/p>\n
bearing registration No: PUA 5436.        He had crossed more than<\/p>\n
3\/4th of the Maya Puri Road when Crane bearing registration No:<\/p>\n
DL 1G 4309 driven rashly,        recklessly and negligently came in<\/p>\n
front of the Crane and hit the rear wheel of the motorcycle. As a<\/p>\n
result of the forceful impact, deceased Rajinder Kumar Kohli was<\/p>\n
thrown    away      and   was   injured   and   became      unconscious.<\/p>\n
Immediately after the accident the deceased was taken to Din<\/p>\n
Dayal Upadhaya Hospital,          where he was declared ‘brought<\/p>\n
dead’.\n<\/p>\n
             A claim petition was filed on 17.10.1994 and an award<\/p>\n
was passed on 12.8.2002. Aggrieved with the said award<\/p>\n
enhancement is claimed by way of the present appeal.<\/p>\n
3.           Sh. O P Goel, counsel for the appellants assailed the<\/p>\n
said award on five grounds. Counsel for the appellants contended<\/p>\n
that the tribunal erred in assessing the income of the deceased<\/p>\n
at Rs. 1741.2\/- per month whereas after looking at the facts and<\/p>\n
circumstances of the case the tribunal should have assessed the<\/p>\n
 FAO No. 695\/2002                                 Page 2 of 9<\/span>
\n income of the deceased at Rs. 6,500\/- per month. The counsel<\/p>\n
submitted that the tribunal erroneously applied the multiplier of<\/p>\n
11 while computing compensation when according to the facts<\/p>\n
and circumstances of the case multiplier of 15 should have been<\/p>\n
applied. It was urged by the counsel that the tribunal erred in not<\/p>\n
considering future prospects while computing compensation as it<\/p>\n
failed to appreciate that the deceased would have earned much<\/p>\n
more in near future as he was of 54 yrs of age only and would<\/p>\n
have lived for another 10- 20 yrs had he        not met with the<\/p>\n
accident. It was also urged by the counsel that the tribunal did<\/p>\n
not consider the fact that due to high rates of inflation the<\/p>\n
deceased would have earned much more in near future and the<\/p>\n
tribunal also failed in appreciating the fact that even the<\/p>\n
minimum wages are revised twice in an year and hence, the<\/p>\n
deceased would have earned much more in his life span. The<\/p>\n
counsel also raised the contention that the rate of interest<\/p>\n
allowed by the tribunal is on the lower side and the tribunal<\/p>\n
should have allowed simple interest @ 12% per annum in place of<\/p>\n
only 9% per annum. The counsel contended that the tribunal<\/p>\n
erred in not awarding compensation towards loss of love &<\/p>\n
affection, funeral expenses, loss of estate, loss of consortium,<\/p>\n
 FAO No. 695\/2002                              Page 3 of 9<\/span>
\n mental pain and sufferings and the loss of services, which were<\/p>\n
being rendered by the deceased to the appellants. The counsel<\/p>\n
relied on the judgment in 1994 ACJ I SC ( Sussamma Thomas)<\/p>\n
support of his contentions.\n<\/p>\n
4.           Nobody has appeared on behalf of the respondents.<\/p>\n
5.           I have heard the learned counsel for the appellants<\/p>\n
and have perused the record.\n<\/p>\n
6.           Appellant No:1 Smt. Krishna Kohli examined herself as<\/p>\n
PW-3. She deposed that deceased Rajinder Kumar Kohli was her<\/p>\n
husband and was 54 years of age at the time of the accident.<\/p>\n
She further deposed that her husband was running a registered<\/p>\n
Bureau and was providing service \/ employment to boys and girls<\/p>\n
as nurses in various Nursing Homes.          She stated that her<\/p>\n
husband was earning Rs. 6,000\/- to Rs. 7,000\/- per month.<\/p>\n
Besides this her husband was also working with Mr. V P Sehgal<\/p>\n
and was earning Rs. 3500\/- per month.      She also deposed that<\/p>\n
she was given Rs.6000–7000\/per month by her husband for<\/p>\n
household expenses. The appellants produced Ex.A, photocopy<\/p>\n
of Form 16 for the period, 1.4.1993 to 31.3.1994 and as per it,<\/p>\n
the gross salary of the deceased was Rs.42,000\/- per annum. The<\/p>\n
tribunal rightly did not find the same reliable as there is nothing<\/p>\n
 FAO No. 695\/2002                              Page 4 of 9<\/span>
\n on record to prove the said Ex.A.       Furthermore, the appellants<\/p>\n
brought the bill book; Ex. PW \u00be of the firm M\/s Care Well Nursing<\/p>\n
Bureau according to which the deceased was earning Rs.1741\/-<\/p>\n
per month.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
7.           After considering all these factors I am of the view that<\/p>\n
the tribunal has not erred in assessing the income of the<\/p>\n
deceased at Rs.1741\/-.\n<\/p>\n
\n8 .          It is no more res integra that mere bald assertions<\/p>\n
regarding the income of the deceased are of no help to the<\/p>\n
claimants in the absence of any reliable evidence being brought<\/p>\n
on record.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
9.            The thumb rule is that in the absence of clear and<\/p>\n
cogent evidence pertaining to income of the deceased learned<\/p>\n
Tribunal should determine income of the deceased on the basis<\/p>\n
of the minimum wages notified under the Minimum Wages Act.<\/p>\n
10 .          Therefore, no interference is made in the award in<\/p>\n
relation to income of the deceased by this court.<\/p>\n
11 .         As regards the future prospects I am of the view that<\/p>\n
there no material on record to award future prospects. Therefore,<\/p>\n
 FAO No. 695\/2002                                Page 5 of 9<\/span>
\n the tribunal committed no error in not granting future prospects<\/p>\n
in the facts and circumstances of the case.\n<\/p>\n
12 .         As regards the contention of the counsel for the<\/p>\n
appellant that the tribunal erred in applying the multiplier of 11 in<\/p>\n
the facts and circumstances of the case, I feel that the tribunal<\/p>\n
has committed no error. This case pertains to April 1994and at<\/p>\n
that time II schedule to the Motor Vehicles act was not brought on<\/p>\n
the statute books. The said schedule came on the statute book in<\/p>\n
the November, 1994 and prior to 1994 the law of the land was as<\/p>\n
laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in 1994 SCC (Cri) 335,<\/p>\n
G.M., Kerala SRTC v. Susamma Thomas. In the<\/a> said judgment<\/p>\n
it was observed by the Court that maximum multiplier of 16 could<\/p>\n
be applied by the Courts, which after coming in to force of the II<\/p>\n
schedule has risen to 18. The age of the deceased at the time of<\/p>\n
the accident was 54 years and he is survived by his widow and<\/p>\n
three children. In the facts of the present case I am of the view<\/p>\n
that after looking at the age of the claimants and the deceased<\/p>\n
and after taking a balanced view considering the applicable<\/p>\n
multiplier under Ii Schedule to the M.V. Act, the multiplier of 11<\/p>\n
should have been applied. Therefore, in the facts of the instant<\/p>\n
case the tribunal committed no error.\n<\/p>\n
\n FAO No. 695\/2002                               Page 6 of 9<\/span>
\n 13 .         As regards the issue of interest that the rate of<\/p>\n
interest of 9% p.a. awarded by the tribunal is on the lower side<\/p>\n
and the same should be enhanced to 12% p.a., I feel that the<\/p>\n
rate of interest awarded by the tribunal is just and fair and<\/p>\n
requires no\/ interference. No rate of interest is fixed under<\/p>\n
Section 171 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Interest is<\/p>\n
compensation for forbearance or detention of money and that<\/p>\n
interest is awarded to a party only for being kept out of the<\/p>\n
money, which ought to have been paid to him. Time and again<\/p>\n
the Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that the rate of interest to<\/p>\n
be awarded should be just and fair depending upon the facts and<\/p>\n
circumstances of the case and taking in to consideration relevant<\/p>\n
factors including inflation, policy being adopted by Reserve Bank<\/p>\n
of India from time to time and other economic factors. In the<\/p>\n
facts and circumstances of the case, I do not find any infirmity in<\/p>\n
the award regarding award of interest @ 9% pa by the tribunal<\/p>\n
and the same is not interfered with.\n<\/p>\n
14 .         On the contention regarding that the tribunal erred in<\/p>\n
not granting adequate compensation towards loss of love &<\/p>\n
affection, funeral expenses and loss of estate, whereas, no<\/p>\n
compensation has been granted towards loss of consortium and<\/p>\n
 FAO No. 695\/2002                              Page 7 of 9<\/span>
\n the loss of services, which were being rendered by the deceased<\/p>\n
to the appellants. In this regard compensation towards loss of<\/p>\n
love and affection is     awarded at Rs. 30,000\/-; compensation<\/p>\n
towards funeral expenses is enhanced to Rs. 10,000\/- and<\/p>\n
compensation towards loss of estate is enhanced to Rs. 10,000\/-.<\/p>\n
Further, Rs. 50,000\/- is awarded towards loss of consortium.<\/p>\n
15 .         As far as the contention pertaining to the awarding of<\/p>\n
amount towards mental pain and sufferings caused to the<\/p>\n
appellants due to the sudden demise of their only son and the<\/p>\n
loss of services, which were being rendered by the deceased to<\/p>\n
the appellants is concerned, I do not feel inclined to award any<\/p>\n
amount as compensation towards the same as the same are not<\/p>\n
conventional heads of damages.\n<\/p>\n
16 .        The tribunal also awarded Rs.10,000\/- towards loss of<\/p>\n
expectation of life, the same is not a conventional head of<\/p>\n
damages in fatal accident cases and thus same is disallowed.<\/p>\n
17 .         Therefore, after considering income of the deceased at<\/p>\n
Rs.1741\/- and after applying unit method the loss of dependency<\/p>\n
as assessed by the Tribunal comes to Rs.1255\/- per month and<\/p>\n
annual dependency comes to Rs.15,060\/- per month.              After<\/p>\n
applying multiplier of 11, the total losS of dependency comes to<\/p>\n
 FAO No. 695\/2002                              Page 8 of 9<\/span>
\n Rs.1,65,660\/-.      After considering Rs.1,00,000\/- which is granted<\/p>\n
towards non-pecuniary damages the total compensation comes<\/p>\n
out as Rs.2,65,660\/-.\n<\/p>\n
18 .         In     view   of   the   above   discussion,       the   total<\/p>\n
compensation is enhanced to Rs. 2,65,660\/- from Rs.1,83,160\/-<\/p>\n
with interest @ 7.5% per annum from the date of filing of the<\/p>\n
present petition till realisation and the same should be paid to<\/p>\n
the appellants by the respondent No.3, in the same ratio as<\/p>\n
awarded by the tribunal.\n<\/p>\n
             Disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
