Judgment Vincy Mittal, J. 1. The claimants are in appeal. They want further enhancement of compensation as awarded by Motor Accident claims Tribunal vide order dated January 19, 1998. 2. An accident took place on July 20, 1997, wherein Lala Ram, who was driving the truck, died, when a bus bearing No. GJ-IV-2110, being driven by Koja Ram dashed against the truck Lala Ram was 32 years of age at the time of the accident. 3. The claimants, who are the widow, minor children and mother of the deceased lala Ram, filed a claim petition. In the claim petition, it was claimed that the accident in question had been caused on account of rash and negligent driving of Koja Ram. It was further claimed by the claimants that at the time of accident, Lala Ram was having monthly income of Rs.4,000/-. 4. The learned Tribunal on the basis of evidence available on record, found that Koja ram, driver of the bus in question, was rash and negligent in his driving and, therefore, the accident in question had been caused. Consequently, the claimants were held entitled to compensation. The compensation was held payable by the driver, owner and United India insurance Company-the insurer of the offending bus. The Tribunal further found that the employer of the deceased driver had appeared and stated that Lala Ram, at the time of his death, was being paid a monthly salary of Rs.2,000/-. Consequently, his dependency was assessed at Rs.1,600/-, multiplier of 16 was applied. In these circumstances, compensation was assessed as Rs.2,56,0007-, payable with interest at the rate of 12% per annum. 5. I have heard learned Counsel for the parties and with their assistance, have also gone through the record of the case. 6. Learned Counsel appearing for the claimant-appellants has argued that income of the deceased Lala Ram has been assessed on the lower side and, therefore, the claimants were entitled to enhancement of the compensation. 7. Having gone through the record of the case and after perusing the findings recorded by the Tribunal, I do not find any merit in the contentions of the learned Counsel. The Tribunal has taken into consideration the written statement filed by M/s. Moti Theatre i. e. , owner of the truck, in whose employment Lala ram was employed as a driver. The Tribunal has taken into consideration the written statement filed by M/s. Moti Theatre i. e. , owner of the truck, in whose employment Lala ram was employed as a driver. In the aforesaid written statement, it was specially mentioned that Lala Ram deceased was getting salary of Rs.2,000/- per month. No evidence to the contrary was led to show that the deceased Lai Ram was receiving any higher salary. 8. Consequently, there is absolutely no material before this Court to hold that salary of Lala Ram had been assessed on the lower side. 9. As a result of the aforesaid discussion, i do not find any merit in the present appeal and the same is, consequently, dismissed. Appeal dismissed.
