Hon'ble GUPTA, J.—This appeal has been filed under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act for enhancement of compensation against the award dated 16.11.1996 passed in MAC No. 62/1993. 2. The present appellants filed a claim petition on the death of Shri Asgar Khan. The present appellant No. 1 is wife, appellants Nos. 2 to 4 are minor children and appellants Nos. 5 and 6 are the mother and father of the deceased. 3. The facts narrated in the claim petition are that on 12.6.1992, a jeep No. RSY-3600 driven by Narayan, coming from Jaipur to Shahpura, at about 7.00 am and when 2496, coming from Jaipur to Shahpura, at about 7.00 am and when reached near Navalgarh crossing, a truck bearing No. PB-13-2496, coming from Shahpura, driven rashly and negligently by the respondent No. 1, hit the jeep and Asgar Khan and others died due to this accident. 4. The contention of the present appellants is that the compensation awarded by the Tribunal is not proportionate to his income and the learned Tribunal has erred in holding the income of deceased as only Rs. 1,500/- per month. He was earning Rs. 3,000 - 4,000/- per month and looking to the number of dependency, only 1/7th of income should have been deducted for his personal expenses. He was only 25 years of age and hence multiplier of 14 applied by the Tribunal is on lower side and hence the compensation should be enhanced. 5. The learned Tribunal has assessed the income of the deceased as Rs. 1,500/- per month. It was stated that he was doing work of loom and he was used to prepare carpets but no documentary evidence was produced and hence taking note of the fact that this claim petition relates to the year 1993, the learned Tribunal has rightly assessed the income as Rs. 1,500/- per month. But, looking to the fact that the deceased was having three minor children, wife and father and mother as dependents, according to the law settled by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, it would be appropriate that instead of 1/3rd for his personal expenses, 1/4th deduction should be made. 6. It is also not in dispute that the deceased was aged 25 years at the time of accident and the learned Tribunal has assessed the compensation on applying the multiplier of 14, which is on lower side. 6. It is also not in dispute that the deceased was aged 25 years at the time of accident and the learned Tribunal has assessed the compensation on applying the multiplier of 14, which is on lower side. Looking to his age and considering the Second Schedule of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the multiplier of 16 will be appropriate. 7. Hence, looking at the above, the total compensation comes to Rs. 1125 x 12 x 16 = Rs. 2,16,000/- + 12,000/- (for loss of love & affection) = Rs. 2,38,000 - 1,80,000/- = 58,000/-. 8. The appeal is, therefore, allowed and the compensation is enhanced by Rs. 58,000/- along with interest @ 7-1/2% per annum on the enhanced amount from the date of filing appeal till the payment is made.
