GUPTA, J.—This appeal has been filed under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act for enhancement against the award dated 29.10.1999 passed in MAC No. 201/1991. 2. The brief facts of the case according to claim petition are that on 23.8.1991, Raju was going by Jeep No. RJ-14-C-3875 from Chomu towards Jaipur. The driver of the jeep - respondent No.1 was driving the jeep in a rash and negligent manner. At about 10.30 a.m., when the jeep reached near Todi Chungi Naka, because of rash and negligent driving, it collided with a truck parked on the side of the road and due to this three persons sitting in he jeep died. The legal heirs of deceased Raju filed claim petition. 3. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record, specially the impugned judgment and award. 4. The contention of the present appellants is that at the time of accident, Raju was about 18 years of age. He was an expert mechanic of lathe machine and he was earning Rs. 2,000/- per month and there was every likelihood of rise in income in the near future. The learned Tribunal has assessed his income as Rs. 1,200/- per month only which should be enhanced. It has also been submitted that a low multiplier of 17has been applied which should also be proportionately increased. 5. The learned Tribunal has assessed the income on the oral evidence of the claimants. It is not in dispute that no documentary evidence has been produced by the claimants and hence income has rightly been assessed by the Tribunal and looking to the age of the deceased and the claimants, multiplier of 17 has also rightly been applied. The learned Tribunal has awarded a sum of Rs. 1,86,200/- and that too in the year 1991, which is just, fair and adequate as purchase power of money was higher at that time. 6. Looking at the above, there is no need to interfere with the impugned judgment and award. The appeal, therefore, has no merit and the same is hereby dismissed.
