BHAGWATI, J.—The claimants appellants have filed this appeal for the enhancement of quantum of compensation. 2. Heard learned counsel for the appellants and perused the impugned award dated 3rd January, 2012, whereby the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Bundi, decreed an amount of Rs. 4,49,000/- in favour of the claimants-appellants and against the non claimants-respondents. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the appellants and carefully perused the impugned award, it is noticed that sans there being any documentary evidence with regard to age and income of the deceased, the learned Tribunal on the basis of post mortem report rightly considered the age of the deceased between the age bracket of 25 - 30 years and appropriately assessed his monthly income to be Rs. 3000/-. The learned Tribunal having applied the multiplier of 18 for the victims falling within the age group of 25-30 years is found to have reasonably computed the quantum of compensation of Rs. 4,49,000/-. 4. The impugned award is well merited, based on cogent finding, with which I fully concur and I do not find any ground to interfere with the same. 5. For these reasons, the appeal fails and the same being bereft of any merit deserves to be dismissed, which stands dismissed accordingly in limine.
