JUDGMENT 1. - Chand Devi lost her husband in the accident. The victims-sufferers of the accident apart from Chand Devi are daughters Mamta, Vimla, Achuki Kumari and Kusum, all the four of the deceased. The accident resulted in deprivation of the father and the bread-earner for all the daughters and husband and bread-earner of Chand Devi. It is not necessary to mention details of facts because the claimants only have filed appeal for enhancement and there is no cross-objection or appeal of the Corporation challenging the finding of rashness and negligence and other findings of the Tribunal in respect of the accident and liability of the Corporation and the driver. 2. The only question which is to be considered is regarding the quantum of compensation. In my opinion the finding of the Tribunal that the dependency of the family in case of the existence of the deceased Nar Singh would have been Rs. 33.0/- per month at least appears to be just and proper and deserves to be accepted. On the basis of that finding since the deceased was 47 years of age at the time of the accident, the multiplier should be of 18 as the expectancy of age 65 is now well recognised and one can do business upto that age also. Thus the amount should be Rs. 71,280/- because 330 X 12 X 18 would come to that. The amount of Rs. 71,280/- is to be given in the proportion that 50 per cent would be taken by the widow and the rest would be divided in equal proportion to all the four daughters. 3. The four daughters would also get Rs. 2,000/- each for loss of love and affection. The widow Chand Devi would get Rs. 5,000/-for the loss of life partner and this amount is called consortium. 4. Thus, the total amount of compensation would be Rs. 84,280/-. 5. This amount would be paid and distributed amongst the claimants in the above proportion according to the principles laid down in Rajasthan State Road Trans. Corporation v. Pista Aggarwal, 1986 ACJ 23 (Rajasthan) , by the Tribunal. Mr. Gupta, counsel for the Corporation, submits that the award has been satisfied. The Corporation would now pay the balance of the amount which has been increased by this Court.
