Hon'ble VYAS, J.—Heard learned counsel for the appellants. 2. By way of filing present misc. appeal, the appellants-claimants have prayed for enhancement of compensation. 3. This misc. appeal is pending since 1997 and still service upon respondents No.1 and 2 is not effected and from last four years counsel for the appellants is seeking time for filing PF-notices upon fresh address of respondents No.1 and 2. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the appellants on merit and perused the award impugned passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-I, Jodhpur. 5. Upon perusal of the award impugned, it is ostensibly clear that learned Tribunal has passed an award of Rs.3,22,400/- alongwith interest at the rate of 12% w.e.f. 06.05.1994 and further passed an order for bifurcation of the amount in favour of all the appellants-claimants. 6. In this misc. appeal alongwith prayer for enhancement of compensation it is specifically prayed that learned Tribunal may be directed to pay the amount of compensation, which is, deposited in the fixed deposit for indefinite period in cash and for that purpose it is also prayed that the order to deposit the amount in fixed deposit may be set aside. 7. The impugned award was passed in the year 1996 and accident took place in the year 1994. 8. In this view of the matter, now no useful purpose will be served to keep this appeal pending for the purpose of enhancement of compensation because at the time of granting compensation, learned Tribunal has determined the income of deceased as Rs.1,400/- per month and awarded compensation by multiplying with eighteen. In my opinion, the multiplier is properly made applicable by the Tribunal, therefore, there is no error in the award impugned. 9. With regard to other prayer of the appellants for setting aside the order for depositing the amount in the fixed deposit for indefinite period, I am of the view that the said award was passed in the year 1996 and now we are running in the year 2011, therefore, obviously no order is required in this matter because as per award the amount is payable upon attaining the age of majority by the claimants. 10. In this view of the matter, I see no reason to interfere in the award impugned.
10. In this view of the matter, I see no reason to interfere in the award impugned. Further, it is expected from the Tribunal that as and when applications will be flied by the claimants upon attaining the age of majority, the same shall be decided forthwith and the amount may be released in favour of the claimants. 11. With the above observations, this misc. appeal is hereby dismissed.
