JUDGMENT 1. - The present misc. appeal has been preferred challenging the award dated 2.12.1998 passed by Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Jaipur whereby the compensation of Rs. 1,77,000 was ordered to be paid in MACT Case No. 996 of 1995. 2. The claim application was filed by the claimants, sons of the deceased Premlata, who had died in the accident occurred on 28.3.1995 when the car No. Rs. 5787, in which she was travelling, had collided with the trolley No. RJ-01-G-1635. In the same accident the other occupant of the car Rajaram Khandelwal had also died. The trolley was insured with the Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. 3. On the evidence produced by the parties, the Tribunal came to the conclusion that the deceased was 53 years old at the time of accident and assessed the monthly income to be Rs. 4,000 and after deducting the income tax of Rs. 2,000 and on the basis of unit system awarded Rs. 1,72,500 along with the amount of expenses of cremation and compensation for loss to estate; as such the total compensation of Rs. 1,77,000 had been awarded. The present appeal has been preferred for enhancement of the compensation. 4. The only contention being raised by the counsel for appellants is that the multiplier of 5 as awarded by the Tribunal is unjustified and it requires to be enhanced. The Tribunal after going through the income tax returns had come to a conclusion that the annual income of the deceased was Rs. 46,000 and after dividing it into units from the annual income the family dependency was calculated at Rs. 34,500 and with the multiplier of 5 only the total compensation of Rs. 1,77,000 was awarded. The deceased was 53 years old. She was proprietor of Krishna Metal Industries. In my opinion, the minimum multiplier in the above said case which could be applied should have been 8 and not 5. The compensation as assessed is enhanced to Rs. 34,500 x 8 = Rs. 2,76,000. 5. Learned counsel for the appellants prays that in connected Appeal No. 23 of 1999, Medhawati Pareek v. Gulab Khan, decided on 13.9.2000 , the widow of the deceased had been awarded by way of enhancement of the amount Rs. 5,500 towards the expenses of cremation and for bringing the dead body from the place of accident as the dead body was brought from distant place. Mr. 5,500 towards the expenses of cremation and for bringing the dead body from the place of accident as the dead body was brought from distant place. Mr. Tiwari submits that similar expenses be awarded to appellants also. 6. There is merit in the submission of Mr. Tiwari. Rs. 5,500 is awarded for the cremation and expenses for bringing the body of deceased from the place of accident. The amount of Rs. 2,500 for loss to the estate as awarded by the Tribunal is maintained. As such, the claimants are entitled to receive total compensation of Rs. 2,84,000 with the interest at the rate of 12 per cent as awarded by the Tribunal from 9.3.1995 till payment. 7.
