sweet shop in the name and style of Sharma Sweets and he was agriculturist and was also doing the business of Dairy Farming. Similarly, PW-2 Gulzar Singh and PW-3 Roop Chand have deposed in their affidavits that the deceased was running sweet shop and he was earning more than Rs. 20,000/- per month. A perusal of the record shows that there is no documentary evidence produced by the claimants to prove the net income of the deceased. Since there is no documentary evidence to prove the dairy farming, and business of agriculture and shop business, therefore the net income of the deceased has been assessed Rs. 2000/- per month. As such the income of the deceased per year comes to Rs. 24,000/- and after deduction 1/3rd as expenses on his person, net income of the deceased comes to Rs., 16,000/- per annum. Since the deceased was 52 years old as per post mortem report, therefore, the multiplier of 10 is suitable in this case and after applying the multiplier of 10 on the total income of the deceased, the total compensation comes to Rs, 1,60,000/- and the claimants are entitled to funeral expenses of Rs. 2,000/-. Therefore, total compensation comes to Rs. 1,62,000/-”
