Before adverting to the question\n          of condonation of delay I thought it appropriate to\n          hear the learned counsel for the appellants on the\n          merits of the case as to how in the present case the\n          amount of compensation deserves to be enhanced.\n\n              Submission          of      the     learned        counsel    for     the\n          appellants is that the income of the deceased has\n          not been assessed appropriately.\n\n              Paragraph        17      of       the    award      passed     by     the\n          tribunal    is     perused.       It     was     the    claim    that     the\n          deceased used to earn Rs.5000\/- per month and he was\n          involved in the agricultural work and also used to\n          sell the vegetables. Before the tribunal, Bhuwani\n          Bai PW-1 stated that there is an agricultural land\n          but no material was produced before the tribunal to\n          prove     that    the     deceased          or   the     claimants      were\n          holding the agricultural land. No proof in relation\n          to the income was submitted by the claimants. In\n          absence of any evidence the tribunal has taken into\n          account     the    notional           income     of     the    deceased     @\n                                                                    M.A. No. 1827\/2010\n\n\n\n\n                                           2\n\n\n\n\n     Rs.3000\/-       per    month.      The      date     of     incident        is\n     1.<\/pre>\n<p>l5.2007.      Accordingly,          the       tribunal    applied       the<br \/>\n     multiplier      of     16    and   thereby        awarded      a    sum     of<br \/>\n     Rs.4,32,000\/-. The compensation from other heads of<br \/>\n     funeral rites, loss of consortium and loss of estate<br \/>\n     has   also      been        awarded       and     thereby     the       total<br \/>\n     compensation of Rs.4,52,000\/- has been awarded.\n<\/p>\n<p>           The tribunal has applied the ration of <a href=\"\/doc\/837924\/\">Sarla<br \/>\n     Verma vs. Delhi Transport Corporation and others<\/a>,<br \/>\n     2009 ACJ 1298 SC. Keeping in view the age of the<br \/>\n     deceased        between 31-35, the multiplier of 16 has<br \/>\n     been applied. In the case of Sarla Verma (supra),<br \/>\n     the Supreme Court has applied the multiplier of 15.<br \/>\n     Thus, the tribunal itself has applied the multiplier<br \/>\n     at a higher rate.\n<\/p>\n<p>           In view of the aforesaid, I do not think it<br \/>\n     appropriate       to    permit        the       appellants         to    file<br \/>\n     application for condonation of delay as the award<br \/>\n     passed   by     the    tribunal       is    proper.        There    are     no<br \/>\n     merits     in    the    case.      The      appeal    is     accordingly<br \/>\n     dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                 (R.K.
