Hon'ble RAFIQ, J.—Service on respondent no.1 being the owner is dispensed with because there is no breach of any condition of the insurance policy. 2. The matter is heard finally considering the fact that it is an old appeal of 1993. 3. The claimants-parents of the deceased Mahendra, aged 20 years who died in a road accident on 3.4.1990 have approached this Court by filing this appeal seeking enhancement of the compensation amount. The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal has awarded a sum of Rs.1,05,000 as compensation to the claimants. 4. Shri Ashok Bhargava, learned counsel for the appellants has argued that in view of the judgment of Supreme Court in Sarla Verma & Ors. vs. Delhi Transport Corporation & Anr. (2009) 6 SCC 121 = 2009(1) CCR 276 (SC) = 2009(4) RLW 2785 (SC), multiplier of 18 should be applied, whereas the Tribunal has applied the multiplier of 16 which is not correct. It was argued that income of the deceased has been taken to be Rs.1200 per month and on that basis deduction should be made 1/3rd, which has not been done by the Tribunal. Learned counsel further argued that for loss of love and affection to the mother and father, only a sum of Rs.15,000 has been awarded, whereas this amount should be more because in the old age days, they would have been fully dependent on him. Nothing has been awarded for funeral expenses also. 5. Learned counsel for the respondent opposed the appeal and submitted that when a son is died, the multiplier should be adopted on the basis of average age of the parents and in this case for the age group of 45-50, the multiplier of 16 is applicable as per the judgment of Sarla Verma, supra, therefore, the Tribunal has adopted the correct multiplier. It is further argued that no further amount is liable to be awarded for loss of love and affection, funeral expenses etc. 6. It is further argued that no further amount is liable to be awarded for loss of love and affection, funeral expenses etc. 6. On hearing learned counsel for the parties and material the material on record, I find that so far as taking the income of the deceased to be Rs.1200 is concerned, the same is liable to be entertained, however, the contention that 1/3rd should be deducted towards self expenses cannot be accepted in view of the judgment of Sarla Verma, supra wherein it is held that in case of unmarried person, 50% should be deducted for his self expenses on the assumption that he was spending more on himself rather than contributing to the family. Thus, taking the income of the deceased to be Rs.1200 and deducting 50% therefrom, the amount is computed taking the multiplier of 16 in view of judgment of Supreme Court in Sarla Verma, supra, which comes to Rs.1,15,200 (1200 x 50% x 12 x 16). The award of compensation of Rs.15,000 for loss of love and affection cumulatively for father and mother also deserves to be increased and is made Rs.10,000 to each of them, thus totaling to Rs.20,000. A sum of Rs.3,000 is further held awardable to the claimants for transportation of the dead body and funeral expenses. Thus a total amount of Rs.1,38,200/- is awarded as compensation. The amount of compensa-tion is therefore enhanced from Rs.1,05,000 to Rs.1,38,200. The appellants are also held entitled to interest @ 7.5% on the enhanced amount of compensation from the date of filing of claim petition. 7. The appeal is accordingly allowed. 8. Compliance of the judgment be made within a period of three months from the date copy of this judgment is produced before the respondents.
