Now, reverting to the amount of compensation, I have scanned the file. The claimant – Usha Devi has stated that Ravi was serving on the shop and was getting salary of 2,400/- or 2,500/per month. The monthly income of the deceased has been mentioned as 2,400/- per month in the claim petition. So, keeping in view the statement, income of the deceased Ravi is taken as 2,400/- per month. Usha Devi has given her age as 40-45 years. Deceased was un-married and as such age of the parents is relevant factor for determining the multiplier. So, as per authority reported as Smt. Sarla Verma and others vs. Delhi Transport Corporation and another 2009 (3) RCR (Civil) 77, the multiplier applicable to the age group of 41 to 45 years is 14. The dependency has to be calculated by deducting ½ of the amount, where the deceased is unmarried. So, the monthly dependency comes to 1,200/- and the yearly dependency comes to 14,400/- ( 1200 X 12 ). By applying the multiplier of 14, the amount comes to ` 2,01,600/- ( 14,400 X 14 ) and by allowing the amount in respect of funeral expenses etc., the appellants are held
