Judgment 1. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the Appellant and the second respondent, who is representing the insurance company. 2. The appellants are the claimants and they lost their son in a road accident on 01.06.2009. They claimed Rs.25,00,000/- as compensation in M.C.O.P. No. 998 of 2009 before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal/Principal District Judge, Pudukkottai. They pleaded that the son was earning Rs.10,000/- per month as Cleaner. However, the Tribunal took it as Rs.3,000/- and deducted 1/3 amount towards personal expenses and adopted the multiplier based on the age of the mother of the deceased and arrived at the compensation of Rs.1,92,000/- {(Rs.24,000 x 8) = Rs.1,92,000/-}. In total, the Tribunal awarded Rs.2,04,000/- under the following heads: (i) Loss of Income: Rs.1,92,000 (ii) Love and Affection: Rs. 10,000 (iii) Funeral Expenses: Rs. 2,000 Aggrieved over the said judgment and decree of the Tribunal, the appellants have now filed this appeal for enhancement, claiming Rs.1,44,000/- raising various grounds. 3. The learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that fixing Rs.3,000/- per month as monthly salary is too low and he has relied on various judgments in this regard. He has also submitted that the amount awarded towards funeral expenses and love and affection is also too low. 4. At this juncture, the learned counsel for the Insurance Company has submitted that without going into the monthly salary, the compensation amount could be enhanced as prayed for by the appellants. 5. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the Insurance Company, the appeal is allowed. No costs. The compensation award by the Tribunal in M.C.O.P. No. 998 of 2009 is hereby enhanced to Rs.3,48,000/- from Rs.2,04,000/-. The Insurance Company is directed to deposit the enhanced amount of Rs.1,44,000/- with 7.5% interest from the date of petition in M.C.O.P. No. 998 of 2009. On such deposit being made, the claimants/appellants are permitted to withdraw the same.
