JUDGMENT : N.K. Mody, J. This is an appeal filed by the claimant under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act against an award dated 25-9-2009 passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Shajapur in Claim Case No. 137/ 2008. By impugned award, the Claims Tribunal has awarded a total sum of Rs. 1,22,000/- with interest to the claimants for the death of one Kuldeep who died in vehicle accident. According to claimants, the compensation awarded is on lower side and hence, need to be enhanced. It is for the enhancement in the compensation awarded by the tribunal, the claimant has filed this appeal. So the question that arises for consideration is whether any case for enhancement in compensation awarded by the Tribunal on facts/evidence adduced is made out in the compensation awarded and if so to what extent. 2. It is not necessary to narrate the entire facts in detail, such as how the accident occurred, who was negligent in driving the offending vehicle, who is liable for paying compensation etc. It is for the reason that all these findings are recorded in favour of claimant by the Tribunal. Secondly, none of these findings though recorded in claimant's favour are under challenge at the instance of any of the respondents such as owner/driver either by way of cross appeal or cross-objection. In this view of the matter, there is no justification to burden the judgment by detailing facts on all these issues. 3. As observed supra, it is a death case. Break-up of the amount awarded is as under : Towards loss of dependency Rs. 1,00,000/- Towards funeral expenses Rs. 2,000/- Towards loss of estate Rs. 20,000/- 4. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that in a motor accident which took place on 25-8-2007, a child named Kuldeep aged 6 years sustained grievous injuries. He was treated at Shajapur and Bhopal and thereafter shifted to Bombay hospital, Indore, but ultimately could not be saved and he died on 28-8-2007. It is submitted that deceased was the only son of their parents, hence it was prayed that appeal be allowed and amount be enhanced. 5. Learned counsel for the respondent/ insurance company submits that amount awarded is just and proper. It is submitted that appeal has no merits and the same be dismissed. 6.
It is submitted that deceased was the only son of their parents, hence it was prayed that appeal be allowed and amount be enhanced. 5. Learned counsel for the respondent/ insurance company submits that amount awarded is just and proper. It is submitted that appeal has no merits and the same be dismissed. 6. Keeping in view that deceased was a child and was only son of their parents, this Court is of the view that amount awarded is on lower side and a case of further enhancement is made out. In view of this Court, in case of child death, it would be proper to enhance the compensation by a further sum of Rs.1,78,000/-, totalling to Rs.3,00,000/-. The enhanced amount of Rs.1,78,000/- shall carry interest @ 8% per annum from the date of application. The amount awarded shall be deposited by the insurance company with the learned tribunal and the learned tribunal is directed to invest 80% of the said amount on long term fixed deposit in the name of appellant No. 1, with the condition that the bank will not permit any loan or advance. Interest on the said amount shall be credited on monthly basis in S.B. Account of appellant No. 1 from where the amount can be withdrawn as per needs. However, on an application by the appellant No. 1, this condition could be modified by the learned tribunal in exceptional circumstances, if made out by the appellant No. 1. 7. With the aforesaid observation, the appeal stands disposed of.
