Hon'ble GUPTA, J.—This misc. appeal has been filed under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 against the judgment and award dated 17.11.1999 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Jaipur, District Jaipur in Claim Petition No. 548/94 for enhancement of the amount of compensation. 2. The facts in short are that on 17.5.1994 the appellant was going in Jeep No. RST 1841 towards Bhankarota. When the Jeep reached near Bhankarota Pulia at about 1.50 PM, the Jeep Driver driving the vehicle in rash and negligent manner turned the vehicle and collided it with the tree and due to this accident, the appellant has suffered serious injuries and two persons have died out of this accident. The claim petition has been preferred by the present appellant and a compensation of Rs. 73,000/- has been awarded in different heads. 3. The contention of the learned counsel for the appellant is that the appellant had suffered 14.4% permanent disability. He received grievous injuries. His left hand has been fractured. He could not work for many days. Hence, the amount of compensation should have been proportionately increased. It was also stated that statutory compensation which was awarded by the Tribunal are also on lower side. Further it has been submitted that the appellant had suffered 14.4% permanent disability whereas the learned Tribunal has awarded only Rs. 45,000/- compensation in that head. A lump sum compensation has been awarded and no multiplier method has been adopted. 4. It is not in dispute that when a person suffered injuries due to a motor accident and received permanent disability, the proper method for assessing the compensation is of multiplier method. But, the learned Tribunal has not assessed the compensation by a scientific method and a lump sum amount of Rs. 45,000/- only has been given without any basis. 5. It has been stated that the appellant was earning Rs. 70/- per day. He was 25 years of age at the time of accident. Hence taking a scientific formula, calculation of compensation should be made taking monthly income of the injured appellant as Rs. 2000/- per month and a multiplier of 17 is required to be applied looking to the young age of the injured/appellant and the compensation for permanent disability should be calculated as 2000 x 12 x 17 = Rs. 4,08,000/- x 14.4% = Rs. 58,752/- = R/o Rs. 59,000/-. 2000/- per month and a multiplier of 17 is required to be applied looking to the young age of the injured/appellant and the compensation for permanent disability should be calculated as 2000 x 12 x 17 = Rs. 4,08,000/- x 14.4% = Rs. 58,752/- = R/o Rs. 59,000/-. Hence, the increase in the compensation under this head is 59000 - 45000 = Rs. 14,000/-. Compensation awarded under other statutory heads, i.e. Rs. 15,000/- for transportation charges and other ancillary expenditure, Rs. 10,000/- for pain and suffering and further Rs. 3,000/- awarded for loss of income will remain same. 6. In the result, the appeal is partly allowed and the compensation under the head of permanent disability is enhanced by Rs. 14,000/- alongwith the interest @ 7.5% per annum from the date of filling of appeal till actual payment is made.
