JUDGMENT K.C. Puri, J. (Oral).:- Satish Kumar-father and Hemlata-mother of Sandeep Kumar, preferred a claim petition claiming compensation on account of death of Sandeep Kumar in a motor vehicular accident. Satish Kumar died and his LRs were arrayed. 2. The claim petition was ultimately accepted and an amount of Rs.2,21,050/- was allowed. The claimants have pleaded that deceased was a salesman on a petrol pump and was getting Rs.2,500/- per month as salary. It is further alleged that he used to supply milk to the sweet maker at Dharuhera and was earning Rs.800/- per month from the same. His contribution to the family was Rs.2,500/- per month. 3. The Tribunal has taken the income of the deceased as Rs.3,000/- per month. The age of the parents was 45 to 50 years and multiplier of 12 was applied. The dependency was taken as Rs.1,500/- per month and yearly dependency was taken as Rs.18,000/- per year ( 1500 X 12) and in this manner, the amount was calculated as Rs.2,16,000/- ( 18000 X 12 ). Another amount of Rs.4,500/- was allowed as general damage and Rs.550/- was allowed on account of medical expenses and in this manner, an amount of Rs.2,21,050/- was granted. 4. Feeling dissatisfied with the above said award, the appellants have preferred the present appeal for enhancement of compensation. 5. Learned counsel for the appellants has submitted that no amount has been granted on account of funeral expenses, transportation and loss of consortium. It is further contended that multiplier applied by the Tribunal is on lower side. 6. Learned counsel for the Insurance company has supported the judgment of the Tribunal. 7. I have considered the submissions made by both the sides and have also gone through the record of the case. 8. The Tribunal held the age of the parents between 45 to 50. So, as per authority reported as Smt. Sarla Verma and others vs. Delhi Transport Corporation and another [2009(3) LAW HERALD (SC) 2107] : 2009(3) RCR (Civil) 77, the multiplier at this age should be 13. So, the claimants are held entitled to claim Rs.18,000/- more on account of multiplier of 13 instead of 12. The Tribunal has granted an amount of Rs.4,500/- as general damages. That amount required to be enhanced. No amount regarding funeral expenses, transportation and loss of consortium has been allowed. So, the claimants are held entitled to claim Rs.18,000/- more on account of multiplier of 13 instead of 12. The Tribunal has granted an amount of Rs.4,500/- as general damages. That amount required to be enhanced. No amount regarding funeral expenses, transportation and loss of consortium has been allowed. On all heads, another amount of Rs.20,000/- stands allowed instead of Rs.4,500/-. So, the claimants are held entitled to claim compensation of Rs.33,500, more in addition to the amount granted by the Tribunal. So, the amount of compensation stands enhanced by Rs.33,500/-. The enhanced amount of compensation shall also carry interest @ 7% per annum from the date of appeal till payment. The liability to pay the enhanced amount shall be the same as ordered by the Tribunal. The appeal stands disposed of. ---------------
