Koshy,J.\n<\/p>\n
            This appeal is filed by the owner of the offending bus namely<\/p>\n
the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation.                  A driver employed in<\/p>\n
Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam while driving the official car of<\/p>\n
the Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University, met with an accident when a<\/p>\n
bus owned by the appellant collited with it and the driver died in the<\/p>\n
accident.   The deceased driver was aged only 34 years and he was<\/p>\n
getting a salary of Rs.3,000\/= per month. His wife was aged 33 years<\/p>\n
and child was aged 1= years. They claimed a total compensation of<\/p>\n
Rs.10,00,000\/=.     The Tribunal awarded only Rs.2,82,200\/= as<\/p>\n
compensation.    The major contention raised by the appellant is that<\/p>\n
finding of negligence on the driver of the vehicle owned by the appellant<\/p>\n
was not correct as the car was on the wrong side. This question was<\/p>\n
considered by the Tribunal elaborately after perusing the documentary<\/p>\n
evidence as apart from the police charge, no independent evidence was<\/p>\n
adduced by both sides regarding the cause of accident. The Tribunal<\/p>\n
held as follows:\n<\/p>\n
MFA.1385\/2001                     2<\/span><\/p>\n
               “6. As evidenced by Ext.A2 scene mahazar,
\n         the place of hit was 3 mts. east of the western tar
\n         end of the road, which was having a width of 7.40
\n         mts. from its tarred portion.    As borne out by
\n         Ext.A6 police charge the bus was proceeding from
\n         south to north and the car, in the opposite
\n         direction. Going by the scene mahazar the place
\n         of hit was therefore on the western half portion of
\n         the road, which was the wrong side of the car.
\n         But the place of collision as noted in the scene
\n         mahazar alone is not decisive in a case like this.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         The    crime   registered  by    the   police   was
\n         investigated and the second respondent, who was
\n         driving the bus was prosecuted for the offences
\n         under secs.279 and 304(A) IPC. Ext.A6 is the copy
\n         of the police charge. If the result of investigation
\n         as borne out by Ext.A6 police charge is anything
\n         to go by, the car driver was confused on seeing
\n         the bus coming through the wrong side of the road
\n         in enormous speed. As per the police charge the
\n         car driver took his vehicle to the western side of
\n         the road with a view to avoid a head-on collision
\n         with the bus, but the bus driver all on a sudden
\n         changed his mind and swerved the bus to the
\n         western side of the road, with the result the place
\n         of collision happened to be on the wrong side of
\n         the car.    As I mentioned     at the outset, no
\n         independent evidence is forthcoming to prove the
\n         occurrence.      Therefore    this   tribunal   has
\n         necessarily to depend on the records in the
\n         criminal case.   As pointed out by the learned
\n         counsel for the petitioners, the investigation
\n         conducted by the police was an official act and it
\n         must be presumed to have been done in good
\n         faith.    Ext.A6 police charge is prima facie
\n         indicative of the case of the petitioners that the
\n         accident was due to the negligence of the second
\n         respondent.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Tribunal did not believe the evidence of RW1, driver of the<\/p>\n
appellant as it is self serving and the driver of the appellant<\/p>\n
MFA.1385\/2001                      3<\/span><\/p>\n
Corporation also in cross examination deposed that he was involved<\/p>\n
in other accident cases also and after considering that the Tribunal<\/p>\n
held that the negligence can be attributed to the driver of the<\/p>\n
appellant’s bus. Driver of the bus, though a party to the case did not<\/p>\n
file any appeal. The Tribunal also found that the monthly salary of<\/p>\n
the deceased driver was Rs.3,160\/=. No amount was granted for<\/p>\n
future prospects. A driver of the University will get yearly increments<\/p>\n
as well as benefits of wage revisions as per the Pay Commission<\/p>\n
Reports. But, the Tribunal has taken only Rs.1,800\/= as the monthly<\/p>\n
contribution and only 12 was taken as the multiplier. The deceased<\/p>\n
was aged only 34 years. The Supreme Court held that except in<\/p>\n
exceptional circumstances, the second schedule should be taken as<\/p>\n
guidelines for fixing compensation even in claims under section 166.<\/p>\n
Going by the second schedule, the apt multiplier will be 17. But, the<\/p>\n
Tribunal has taken only 12 as the multiplier. Therefore, even if a<\/p>\n
small percentage of contributory negligence is fixed on the part of the<\/p>\n
car driver, the total compensation will make no difference.        The<\/p>\n
compensation granted under other heads are also very meagre. For<\/p>\n
loss of love and affection and parental care to the child aged 1=<\/p>\n
years, only Rs.5,000\/= was awarded. It is stated that for pain and<\/p>\n
suffering of the first claimant wife, Rs.10,000\/= was granted, that is<\/p>\n
for loss of consortium. But, that is too meagre considering the age of<\/p>\n
MFA.1385\/2001                    4<\/span><\/p>\n
the wife (53) as at the young age she became a widow and the 1=<\/p>\n
year old child lost the father.    Considering the totality of the<\/p>\n
circumstances, we are of the view that only just and reasonable<\/p>\n
compensation was awarded and no interference is required in the<\/p>\n
impugned award.\n<\/p>\n
           The appeal is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
