Her age at the time of the accident was 42 years. The age of the claimant is also 42 years. Krishna Kumar AW l deposed that deceased was a teacher in the primary school and her salary was Rs.1,000/- per month. It is also submitted that in addition to salary she earned Rs.1,500/- per month as tuition fee, there is no supporting evidence has been adduced about the income of the salary and tuition fee. Therefore, we assess income of the deceased Rs.1,000/- from salary Rs. 500/- from tuition fee that means total income would be Rs. 1,500/- per month. After deduction to 1/3rd, amount the monthly loss of dependency would be Rs. 1,000/- per month and annual loss of dependency comes to Rs. 12,000/-. Looking to the age of the claimant a multiplier of 15 is applicable as per schedule of the Motor Vehicle Act. Therefore, after multiplier of 15 being applied thus loss of dependency comes to 12,000x 15=Rs. 1,80,000/- plus Rs. 2,000/-for funeral, Rs.2,500/- for loss to estate, Rs.5,000/- for loss of expectancy of life and Rs. 5,000/- for loss of consortium to husband. Therefore, the total amount awarded as Rs. 1,94,500/-. The rate of interest as awarded by the Tribunal is reduced from 12% to 6% from date of filing petition till realization. 7. Consequently the appeal is allowed to the extent mentioned above it is directed that claimant shall be entitled compensation for Rs. 1,94,500/-from the respondents jointly and severally. The rate of interest is 6% from the date of application till payment no order has to costs.
