respondent Nos. 1 and 2 at the time of the
application i.e. age of the father 57 years and age
of mother 50 years and therefore multiplier of 8
should have been applied. Because according to him
while fixing compensation in such a case the age of
the parents was the criteria. He also contended
that the deceased would have been married and his
dependency would have reduced. There is
considerable force in this arguments. Father was 57
years of age and the mother was 50 years of age at
the time of claim petition, therefore the multiplier
of 9 should have been applied instead of 14. Out of
Rs.1,500/- looking to the status and the business of
the family contribution of the deceased towards
himself has to be taken as Rs.300/- per month,
therefore dependency comes to Rs.1,200/- per month
to the family., i.e. Rs.1,200/- x 12 x 9 =
1,29,600/-. Tribunal has awarded Rs.10,000/-
towards loss of love and affection and Rs.2,000/-
towards medical treatment, funeral expenses etc.
That does not appear to be proper, Rs.20,000/- and
Rs.5,000/- should have been awarded on that counts,
therefore Rs.1,29,600/- + Rs.20,000/- + Rs.5,000/-
comes to Rs.1,54,600/-, therefore claimants would be
entitled to Rs.1,54,600/-. I therefore pass the
following order:
