The learned counsel appearing for the first respondent submitted that in the alleged accident, injuries sustained by the claimant was caused only by the rash and negligent driving by the second respondent. Hence, claimant is entitled to claim compensation. 7. Perused the materials available on record. 8. As per petition averments, on 2/11/2016, at about 5.45 a.m., first respondent was walking on Kovai, Puliyalularm, near R.R.bakery, the second respondent came in a two wheeler bearing Registration No.TN-37- BH-3889, in a rash and negligent manner, dashed against the first respondent/claimant. At the time of accident, claimant was aged about 58 years, was earning Rs.10,000/- p.m., filed a claim petition before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Coimbatore. The trial Court, upon considering the age and avocation of the claimant, fixed notional income as Rs.7,000/- Following the dictum laid down by the Constitution Bench of the Apex Court in NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY LTD Vs. PRANAY SETHI &OTHERS ( AIR 2017 SUPREME COURT 5157 ), the trial Court has come to the conclusion that the claimant is entitled to the future prospects at the rate of 10%, as he was aged between 50 – 60 years, then the total salary after adding future aspects is Rs.7,700/- p.m. However, the adoption of multiplier method by the trial Court is wholly erroneous, as the disability of the petitioner is only to the extent of 20%. Therefore, multiplier method adopted by the trial Court cannot be sustained. Considering the fact that the accident had taken place during the year 2016, this Court feels that a sum of Rs.5,000/- per percentage on disability would be just and reasonable. Accordingly, compensation towards disability is fixed at Rs.1,00,000/- (20 x 50,000/-). In so far as the compensation awarded under other heads viz., Medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of amenities, extra nourishment, transport, damages to clothing and articles, this Court is of the considered view that considering the nature of injuries and the treatment taken by the petitioner, compensation awarded under the said heads are reasonable and no interference is warranted. In so far as the compensation awarded under other heads viz., Medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of amenities, extra nourishment, transport, damages to clothing and articles, this Court is of the considered view that considering the nature of injuries and the treatment taken by the petitioner, compensation awarded under the said heads are reasonable and no interference is warranted. Hence, award passed by the trial Court is modified as follows:- Heads Award of trial Court (in Rs.) Award modified by this Court (in Rs.) Disability 1,66,320/- 1,00,000/- Medical bills 1,09,189/- 1,09,189/- Pain & suffering 3,00,000/- 1,00,000/- Loss of amenities 2,00,000/- 30,000/- Extra Nourishment 10,000/- 10,000/- Transport 10,000/- 10,000/- Damages to clothing and articles 5,000/- 5,000/- 8,00,509/- 3,64,189/- The amount of compensation awarded by the Tribunal is reduced to Rs.3,64,189/- as stated above. 9. In the result, this Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is partly allowed and the order of Tribunal made in MCOP. No.771 of 2017 dated 18/12/2019 is modified by reducing the compensation from Rs.8,00,509/- to Rs.3,64,189/- with interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum from the date of claim petition till the date of deposit.
