Barkath Ali, J.\n<\/p>\n
      In this appeal under section 173 of the Motor<\/p>\n
Vehicles Act claimants in O.P.(MV) No.451 of 2000 of the<\/p>\n
Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Kalpetta, Wayanad<\/p>\n
challenge the judgment and award of the Tribunal dated<\/p>\n
August 21, 2006 awarding a compensation of Rs.1,26,500\/-<\/p>\n
for the loss caused to them, on account of the death of one<\/p>\n
Ammed in a motor accident.\n<\/p>\n
      2. The facts leading to this appeal, in brief, are these:-<\/p>\n
Deceased Ammed was aged 60 at the time of the accident<\/p>\n
and used to earn Rs.6,000\/- per month as a fish seller.<\/p>\n
Claimants are his wife and major married children. On June<\/p>\n
4, 2000 at about 6 a.m. deceased Ammed was pillion riding<\/p>\n
on a motor cycle bearing registration No.KL.12A\/6047 from<\/p>\n
Mananthavady to Kaniyaram. The motor cycle was ridden<\/p>\n
by fourth respondent. When they reached near “B” street, a<\/p>\n
MACA 757\/2007                 2<\/span><\/p>\n
jeep bearing registration No.KL.10G\/6447, driven by first<\/p>\n
respondent, came at a high speed and dashed against the<\/p>\n
motor cycle.    Ammed sustained serious injuries and he<\/p>\n
succumbed to the injuries sustained while undergoing<\/p>\n
treatment in the Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode on<\/p>\n
June 6, 2000. According to the claimants, the accident<\/p>\n
occurred due to the negligence on the part of the first<\/p>\n
respondent, driver of the offending jeep. The first<\/p>\n
respondent as the driver, second respondent as the owner<\/p>\n
and third respondent as the insurer of the offending jeep<\/p>\n
are jointly and severally liable to pay the compensation to<\/p>\n
the claimants who are the dependents and legal heirs of the<\/p>\n
deceased. Respondents 4 and 5 are the owner-cum-driver<\/p>\n
and insurer of the motor cycle.\n<\/p>\n
      3. Respondents 1 and 2, driver and owner of the<\/p>\n
offending jeep, remained absent before the Tribunal. The<\/p>\n
third respondent, insurer of the offending jeep filed a<\/p>\n
written statement, admitting the policy and further<\/p>\n
contended that there was also negligence on the part of the<\/p>\n
MACA 757\/2007                    3<\/span><\/p>\n
rider of the motor cycle. Fourth respondent, owner-cum-<\/p>\n
rider of the motor cycle, on which the claimant was pillion<\/p>\n
riding at the time of the accident, remained absent before<\/p>\n
the Tribunal. Fifth respondent, insurer of the said motor<\/p>\n
cycle, filed written statement, admitting the policy and<\/p>\n
further contended that the accident occurred due to the<\/p>\n
negligence of the first respondent.\n<\/p>\n
      4. PW1 was examined and Exts. A1 to A6 were<\/p>\n
marked on the side of the claimants. Exts.B1 and B2 were<\/p>\n
marked on the side of the respondents. The Tribunal, on an<\/p>\n
appreciation of the evidence, awarded a compensation of<\/p>\n
Rs.1,26,500\/- with interest at the rate of 6% p.a. from the<\/p>\n
date of petition till realization and costs. The claimants have<\/p>\n
come    up    in   appeal,    challenging    the  quantum    of<\/p>\n
compensation awarded by the Tribunal.\n<\/p>\n
      5. Heard learned counsel for the appellants and<\/p>\n
learned counsel for respondents 3 and 5.\n<\/p>\n
      6. The accident is not disputed. The finding of the<\/p>\n
Tribunal that the accident occurred due to the negligence<\/p>\n
MACA 757\/2007                 4<\/span><\/p>\n
on the part of the first respondent is not challenged in this<\/p>\n
appeal.    Therefore, the only question which arises for<\/p>\n
consideration is whether the claimant is entitled to any<\/p>\n
enhanced compensation ?\n<\/p>\n
      7. The Tribunal awarded a total compensation of<\/p>\n
Rs.1,26,500\/-. The break up of the compensation awarded is<\/p>\n
as under:-\n<\/p>\n
      Transport to hospital             :   Rs. 2,000\/-\n      Extra-nourishment                 :   Rs.       500\/-\n      Medical expenses                  :   Rs. 1,000\/-\n      Pain and suffering                :   Rs. 15,000\/-\n      Loss of love and affection        :   Rs. 25,000\/-\n      Funeral expenses                  :   Rs. 3,000\/-\n      Loss of dependency                :   Rs. 80,000\/-\n                                            ------------------\n          Total                         :   Rs.1,26,500\/-\n                                            ========\n\n<\/pre>\n
      8. The learned counsel for the claimants sought<\/p>\n
enhancement of the compensation for the loss of<\/p>\n
dependency. He also pointed out that no compensation was<\/p>\n
awarded for the loss of consortium and loss of estate.<\/p>\n
      9. The Tribunal took the monthly income of the<\/p>\n
deceased as Rs.2,000\/-. After deducting 1\/3 for his personal<\/p>\n
MACA 757\/2007                 5<\/span><\/p>\n
expenses, Rs.16,000\/- per annum was taken as his annual<\/p>\n
contribution to his family. The Tribunal adopted a multiplier<\/p>\n
of 5 and awarded a compensation of Rs.80,000\/- for loss of<\/p>\n
dependency. The second claimant as PW1 testified that the<\/p>\n
deceased was a Fish Merchant and earning Rs.6,000\/- per<\/p>\n
month, which is disputed by the contesting respondents.<\/p>\n
Taking into consideration the fact that the deceased was a<\/p>\n
Fish Merchant, we feel that his monthly income can<\/p>\n
reasonably be estimated at Rs.3,000\/- per month. After<\/p>\n
deducting 1\/3rd for his personal expenses, Rs.2,000\/- per<\/p>\n
month will be taken as his monthly contribution to his<\/p>\n
family, which works out Rs.24,000\/- per annum. The<\/p>\n
multiplier adopted by the Tribunal as 5 is not seriously<\/p>\n
challenged. Therefore, for the loss of dependency, the<\/p>\n
claimants are entitled to a compensation of Rs.1,20,000\/-.<\/p>\n
Thus,   the  claimants    are   entitled  to an   additional<\/p>\n
compensation of Rs.40,000\/- on this count.<\/p>\n
      10. For loss of consortium, no compensation is seen<\/p>\n
awarded by the Tribunal. The deceased was aged 60 and his<\/p>\n
MACA 757\/2007                 6<\/span><\/p>\n
wife, first claimant, was aged 54 at the time of the accident.<\/p>\n
Therefore, for the loss of consortium, we feel that a<\/p>\n
compensation of Rs.15,000\/- would be reasonable.<\/p>\n
       11. No compensation was awarded for loss of estate.<\/p>\n
Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the<\/p>\n
case, we feel that a compensation of Rs.5,000\/- would be<\/p>\n
reasonable on this count. .\n<\/p>\n
       12. There is another aspect in this case. The Tribunal<\/p>\n
awarded interest at 6% per annum, which appears to be<\/p>\n
very low. The claimants are entitled to interest at 7.5% per<\/p>\n
annum on the compensation already awarded as well as for<\/p>\n
the additional compensation awarded. As regards the<\/p>\n
compensation awarded under other heads, we find the same<\/p>\n
to be reasonable and therefore, we are not disturbing the<\/p>\n
same.\n<\/p>\n
       13. In the result, the claimants are entitled to an<\/p>\n
additional compensation of Rs.60,000\/- with interest at 7.5%<\/p>\n
p.a. from the date of petition till realization and<\/p>\n
proportionate costs. The order of the Tribunal is modified as<\/p>\n
MACA 757\/2007                 7<\/span><\/p>\n
found above. The third respondent Insurance Company shall<\/p>\n
deposit the amount within two months from the date of<\/p>\n
receipt of a copy of this judgment.\n<\/p>\n
      In the result, the appeal is disposed of as above.<\/p>\n
                              A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n
                              P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n
