Whether Reporters of Local papers may               YES\n        be allowed to see the Judgment?\n\n2.      To be referred to the Reporter or not?              YES\n\n3.      Whether the judgment should be                      YES\n        reported in the Digest?\n\n                        JUDGMENT (Oral)\n<\/pre>\n<p>1.    The appellants have challenged the award of the<\/p>\n<p>learned Tribunal whereby compensation of Rs.1,44,000\/- has<\/p>\n<p>been awarded to claimants\/respondents No.1 and 2. The<\/p>\n<p>appellants seek reduction of the award amount on the<\/p>\n<p>ground of composite negligence.          Claimants\/respondents<\/p>\n<p>No.1 and 2 have filed cross-objections seeking enhancement<\/p>\n<p>of the award amount.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.    The accident dated 15th February, 1991 resulted in the<\/p>\n<p>death of Ram Murti. The deceased was survived by his widow<\/p>\n<p>and minor daughter who filed the claim petition before the<\/p>\n<p>learned Tribunal.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO No.127\/2000                                        Page 1 of 6<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p> 3.    The deceased was aged 39 years at the time of the<\/p>\n<p>accident and was running a Kiryana shop earning Rs.4,000\/-<\/p>\n<p>per month.        However, in the absence of sufficient proof of<\/p>\n<p>income, the learned Tribunal took the minimum wages of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1,222\/- per month. The learned Tribunal took the future<\/p>\n<p>prospects into consideration by taking the average of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1,222\/- and Rs.2,500\/-, deducted Rs.550\/- towards the<\/p>\n<p>personal expenses of the deceased and applied the multiplier<\/p>\n<p>of 10 to compute the loss of dependency at Rs.1,44,000\/-.<\/p>\n<p>No compensation has been awarded for loss of consortium,<\/p>\n<p>loss of love and affection, loss of estate and funeral<\/p>\n<p>expenses.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.    The learned counsel for the appellants has urged only<\/p>\n<p>one ground at the time of hearing of this appeal, namely,<\/p>\n<p>that the compensation amount be reduced on the ground of<\/p>\n<p>composite negligence of the scooter on which the deceased<\/p>\n<p>was sitting as pillion rider. The deceased was sitting on the<\/p>\n<p>pillion of two wheeler scooter which was hit by truck bearing<\/p>\n<p>No.DIG-551. The FIR was registered against the driver of the<\/p>\n<p>truck. The driver of the scooter appeared in the witness box<\/p>\n<p>before the learned Tribunal and deposed that the truck came<\/p>\n<p>on the wrong side of the road and hit the scooter. The FIR of<\/p>\n<p>the case was proved as Ex.PW2\/A. On the basis of aforesaid<\/p>\n<p>evidence, the learned Tribunal held that the accident<\/p>\n<p>occurred due to rash and negligent driving of the appellant&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>driver. The finding of the learned Tribunal is based on the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO No.127\/2000                                        Page 2 of 6<\/span><br \/>\n evidence on record and is upheld.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.    The learned counsel for claimants\/respondents No.1<\/p>\n<p>and 2 has urged the following grounds at the time of hearing<\/p>\n<p>of this appeal:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      (i)    The multiplier be enhanced from 10 to 15.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      (ii)   The   compensation   be    awarded     for     loss    of<\/p>\n<p>             consortium, loss of love and affection, loss of<\/p>\n<p>             estate and funeral expenses.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>6.    The learned counsel for claimants\/respondents No.1<\/p>\n<p>and 2 submits that the deceased was 39 years of age but the<\/p>\n<p>learned Tribunal took the age of the deceased as 50 years on<\/p>\n<p>the basis of the age recorded in the postmortem report. The<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel submits that the age of the deceased<\/p>\n<p>recorded in the postmortem report is not the correct age of<\/p>\n<p>the deceased.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.    The    claimants\/respondents     No.1   and   2     have     led<\/p>\n<p>additional evidence before this Court.        The deceased had<\/p>\n<p>studied in Sarkari High School, Pindwarpal, Amritsar, Punjab<\/p>\n<p>and appellant No.1 applied for the copy of the admission<\/p>\n<p>register of the school under the Right to Information Act in<\/p>\n<p>response to which the reply dated 11th September, 2009 was<\/p>\n<p>sent to appellant No.1 and the copy of the admission register<\/p>\n<p>was also furnished to her. Appellant No.1 appeared in the<\/p>\n<p>witness box and proved the original reply dated 11 th<\/p>\n<p>September, 2009 as Ex.P-1.        The certified copy of the<\/p>\n<p>admission register received by appellant No.1 under the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO No.127\/2000                                           Page 3 of 6<\/span><br \/>\n cover of the letter dated 11th September, 2009 was proved<\/p>\n<p>as Ex.P-2.        The true translation of Ex.P-1 and Ex.P-2 were<\/p>\n<p>proved as Ex.P-3 and Ex.P-4. As per Ex.P-2, the date of birth<\/p>\n<p>of the deceased is 3rd February, 1952 and according to which<\/p>\n<p>the age of the deceased at the time of the accident was 39<\/p>\n<p>years. The age of the deceased is, therefore, held to be 39<\/p>\n<p>years.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.     As per the recent judgment of Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court<\/p>\n<p>in    the    case    of    Sarla    Verma     Vs.        Delhi   Transport<\/p>\n<p>Corporation,         2009     (6)    Scale    129,        the    appropriate<\/p>\n<p>multiplier at the age of 39 years is 15.                  The multiplier is,<\/p>\n<p>therefore, enhanced form 10 to 15.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.     Taking the monthly dependency of the claimant to be<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1,200\/- per month, applying the multiplier of 15, the loss<\/p>\n<p>of dependency is computed to be Rs.2,16,000\/- (Rs.1,200 x<\/p>\n<p>12 x 15).\n<\/p>\n<p>10.    The     learned       Tribunal   has      not        awarded        any<\/p>\n<p>compensation for loss of consortium, loss of love and<\/p>\n<p>affection, loss of estate and funeral expenses. Rs.10,000\/- is<\/p>\n<p>awarded for loss of consortium, Rs.10,000\/- for loss of love<\/p>\n<p>and affection, Rs.10,000\/- for loss of estate and Rs.5,000\/- for<\/p>\n<p>funeral expenses. The total compensation is computed to be<\/p>\n<p>Rs.2,51,000\/- (Rs.2,16,000 + Rs.10,000 + Rs.10,000 +<\/p>\n<p>Rs.10,000 + Rs.5,000).\n<\/p>\n<p>11.    The appeal is dismissed.              The cross-objections are<\/p>\n<p>allowed      and     the    award     amount        is    enhanced       from<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">FAO No.127\/2000                                                    Page 4 of 6<\/span><br \/>\n Rs.1,44,000\/- to Rs.2,51,000\/- . The learned Tribunal has<\/p>\n<p>awarded interest @ 12% per annum which is not disturbed<\/p>\n<p>on the original award amount of Rs.1,44,000\/-. However, on<\/p>\n<p>the enhanced award amount, the rate of interest shall be<\/p>\n<p>@7.5% per annum from the date of filing of the petition till<\/p>\n<p>realization.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.   The enhanced award amount along with interest be<\/p>\n<p>deposited by the appellant with UCO Bank, Delhi High Court<\/p>\n<p>Branch A\/c Sudesh Rani through Mr. M.M. Tandon, Member-<\/p>\n<p>Retail Team, UCO Bank Zonal, Parliament Street, New Delhi<\/p>\n<p>(Mobile No. 09310356400) within 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>13.
