3177, 3178 and 3179/2015 is answered in the

Affirmative.



     13. Issue No.2 in MVC.3176/2015:-              In view of

findings assigned by this tribunal to the above issue No.1

the petitioners of MVC.3176/2015 are legal heirs of the

deceased, as such, they are entitled for compensation. So

far, in respect of quantum of compensation is concerned,

PW-1 has deposed deceased G.Maruthi, was aged about

50 years at the time of accident. At the same time, other

sides have not disputed the age of the deceased person.

However, PW-1 has produced Ration card at Ex.P.12. by

perusing the same, said Ex.P.1 issued by Govt. of

Karnataka on 20.06.2013, further it is speaks that the age

of deceased was 51 in the year 2013 and admittedly the

accident was occurred in the year 2015, it means, on the
 (SCCH-15)                     19
                                MVC. 3176, 3177, 3178 & 3179/2015

date of accident, the age of deceased is was 53 year.

Therefore this tribunal inclines towards Ex.P.12, as such

tribunal come to conclusion that the age of deceased was

53 at the time of accident. So, as per Sarala Verma and

others V/s. Delhi Transport Corporation and others case

the appropriate multiplier is 11.


     14. P.W.1 has deposed that the deceased is her

husband, further she has deposed that they were

depending upon earning of the deceased, further she has

deposed that after death of her husband, they did not

have any source of income for their livelihood. Admittedly

on looking to the cause title of petition, the petitioners No.2

and 4 are the married daughter of deceased G.Maruthi,

further as per P.W.1 evidence Petitioner No.2 and 4 are the

married daughter they are residing with their respective

husband's house, under such they are not dependents of

deceased income, so also, Petitioner No.1 is the wife of

deceased and Petitioner No.3 is the un married son and as

per evidence of P.W.1, the petitioner No.3 is student,

contrary to that, there is no any material before court to
 (SCCH-15)                   20
                              MVC. 3176, 3177, 3178 & 3179/2015

disbelieve or discard the said version, thus, tribunal come

to conclusion that the petitioner No.1 and 3 are the

dependants and 3rd petitioner is unmarried and he has

student and there were no body to look after them and

they have no any source of income, except the income of

deceased person. Contrary to that, there is no material

place before court about the petitioners having source of

income. Hence this tribunal believes the evidence of P.W.1

and hold that the petitioners are the L.Rs and dependants

of the deceased.       Accordingly they are entitled for

compensation under all heads.


     15. Further P.W.1 has deposed as the deceased was

worked as Astrologer and was earning 30,000/-. Except

the pleading, there is no absolutely any document to show

that deceased was having income of Rs.30,000/-p.m. like

either Bank statement or any other mode for showing the

deceased had income of Rs.30,000/-p.m.           Under such

circumstance, admittedly the accident was occurred in the

year 2015. In the absence of documentary evidence

regarding income of deceased, such circumstance, this
 (SCCH-15)                    21
                               MVC. 3176, 3177, 3178 & 3179/2015

tribunal inclines towards notional income of deceased.

Thus, in the year 2015 the scenario of income in the

society of a person who is worked on his either own skill

or Art or by under any mode, that person getting the

minimum income sum of Rs.7,000/-P.M.           Therefore, this

Tribunal has come to conclusion that deceased was

earning a sum of Rs.7,000/-p.m.


     16. Admittedly the deceased was aged 53 years at

the time of accident and his income per month is

Rs.7,000/- which comes per year as Rs.7,000x12=

84,000/-. Admittedly, the age of deceased was 53 at the

time of accident. Hence the question of adding 50%

amount towards future prospects doesn't arise. Further

petitioner No.1 and 2 are the dependents of the deceased

and deceased was married,         As such, as per Sarala

Verma and others V/s. Delhi Transport Corporation and

others case, this tribunal opines that it is necessary 1/3rd

amount shall be deducted towards personal expenses in

the said amount of income i.e., 84,000/-. After deduction
 (SCCH-15)                      22
                                 MVC. 3176, 3177, 3178 & 3179/2015

regarding    personal    expenses        in    total    income        of

Rs.84,000/- it's comes 58,800 /- p.a.



       17. The petitioners are the L.Rs and petitioner No.1

and 3 are the only dependents of the deceased, in that 1st

petitioner is the wife, and 3rd petitioner is un-married son

and he has studying and Petitioner No.2 and 4 are

daughter of deceased. And 1st petitioner has lost her

husband and 2 to 4 petitioners have lost their father.

Further, petitioner No.1 and 3 they have lost dependency

and petitioner No. 1 to 4 are lost love and affection and

estate of the deceased. And they have spent amount for

transportation of dead body and funeral expenses. Under

such    Circumstance,   they      have    entitle      for    loss    of

dependency        and        same         would          be          Rs.

58,800x11=6,46,800/-. Further the 1 to 4th petitioner is

further entitled for a compensation of Rs. 25,000/- each

towards loss of love and affection, further 1 to 4

petitioners are entitled for a compensation sum of

Rs.15,000/- each towards loss of estate and 50,000/-

towards     transportation   of   dead        body     and    funeral
 (SCCH-15)                     23
                                MVC. 3176, 3177, 3178 & 3179/2015

expenses.    Thus, the petitioners are entitled for just and

reasonable compensation as under.

     1. Loss of dependency                Rs. 06,46,800/-
     2. Loss of Love and Affection
        (P-1 to 4, Rs.25,000/-each       Rs. 01,00,000/--
     3. Loss of Estate                   Rs.    60,000/-
        (P-1 to 4, Rs.15,000/- each)
     4. Transportation of dead body
          and Funeral Expenses             Rs.   50,000/-

                 Total:                    Rs.08,56,000/-



The petitioner are further entitled for interest @ 9% p.a.

from the date of petition till the date of payment.

     18. ISSUE No.2 in MVC No.3177/2015:- PW-2-

P.Shankar Rao Shastri (petitioner in MVC No.3177/2015)

has produced the wound certificate at Ex.P.13, discharge

summary     at   Ex.P.14,   and   on    behalf    of   petitioner

Dr.R.Shashikanth Assistant Surgeon of Columbia Asia

Hospital Bengaluru who is one of the treated doctor of

P.W.2 and he has been examined as P.W.5 and produced

Inpatient file at Ex.P.23 and X-ray (2 in nos.) at Ex.P.26,

City scan films (3 in nos.) at Ex.P.27. On looking to the

Ex.P.23 and oral evidence of P.W.5, it is disclosed that, the

petitioner has sustained the injuries viz., TBI and Lung

Contusion with fracture of Mandible and fracture of 2nd rib
 (SCCH-15)                    24
                               MVC. 3176, 3177, 3178 & 3179/2015

and said injuries are grievous in nature, with regard to

these injuries, petitioner has underwent to surgery under

general anesthesia in an inpatient from 09.01.2015 to

17.01.2015, on looking to this, the petitioner has taken

treatment as an inpatient for 09 days in the columbia Asia

Hospital. As such, the evidence of P.W.2 and P.W.5 and

documents are not in dispute and further there is no any

reason for either disbelieve or discard the evidence of

P.W.2,5     and   Ex.P.13-wound      certificate,    discharge

summary at Ex.P.14 and Ex.P.23-Inpatient file.

     19. Now, P.W.2 has produced inpatient bills (22

pages) amount sum of Rs. 1,56,713/-. Further, said an

inpatient bill is not in dispute and there is no any material

on record about contrary to those bills. So on looking to

these medical bills documents clearly goes to show that

the petitioner has spent total amount of Rs.1,56,713/- for

the treatment, which can be rounded to Rs.1,57,000/-.

     20. Further, as per oral evidence of P.W.2 and 5 and

recitals of Ex.P.13-wound certificate, Ex.P.14-Discharge

summary,     Ex.P.17-X-ray    and     Ex.P.23-Inpetian       file

disclosed that petitioner has underwent treatment for 9
 (SCCH-15)                    25
                               MVC. 3176, 3177, 3178 & 3179/2015

days as an inpatient and underwent for surgery under

general anesthesia and X-ray examination, city scan

examination. As such, he has undergone pain and

sufferings and spent amount for diet and conveyance

during said period. As per opines of the P.W.5-Doctor the

injuries have permanent physical disability and there is no

any material for contrary to that.       Hence, the tribunal

opinion that the petitioner is entitled for compensation sum

of Rs.30,000/- towards pain and sufferings, Rs.10,000/-

towards diet and conveyance, further she is entitled for a

compensation of Rs. 10,000/- towards loss of amenities.

Further, P.W.5 has deposed petitioner has requires

another surgery for implant removal and tendon transfer

for claming which would cost approximately Rs.25,000/-.

Now doubt, there is no any evidence with respect of future

medical expense. However, it is true as the petitioner has

requires underwent surgery for removal of implant,

therefore the tribunal has inclined to the requirement of

future medical expenditure to the petitioner and same is

award compensation sum of Rs. 10,000/- towards future

medical expenses.      Further P.W.5 deposed he has
 (SCCH-15)                     26
                                MVC. 3176, 3177, 3178 & 3179/2015

assessed disability of 20% to the face, however on looking

to the medical evidence which can be consider 5 % to the

whole body.

       21. Whereas, so for age of petitioner is concern,

P.W.2 has deposed as his age was 62 years at the time of

accident, no doubt, in that, except medical record, there is

no any particular documentary to show that, the age of

petitioner, as such in the Ex.P.13-wound certificate is

shown the age of petitioner was 65 years at the time of

accident, in the absence of documents with regard to

either date of birth or age proof, then the tribunal inclines

towards medical records i.e., Ex.P.13-wound certificate in

this    documents clearly shows that the age of the

petitioner was 65 years. Under such circumstance, this

tribunal comes to conclusion that the age of the petitioner

was 65 years as at the date of accident. Contrary to that

there is nothing on record to disbelieve the age of petitioner

is as 65 yrs., Hence, as per directions in the case Sarala

Verma and other V/s Delhi Transport corporation and

others, the appropriate multiplier is 7.
 (SCCH-15)                  27
                             MVC. 3176, 3177, 3178 & 3179/2015

     22. Now the earning of petitioner is concerned, PW-2

has deposed in his chief examination that he was working

as astrologer and also doing agriculture work and she

was earning a sum of Rs.30,000/- p.m., but there is no

any documentary evidence to showing as the petitioner

was earning     a sum of Rs.30,000/-.           Under such

circumstance, admittedly the accident was occurred in the

year 2015. In the absence of documentary evidence

regarding income of deceased, such circumstance, this

tribunal inclines towards notional income of deceased.

Thus, in the year 2015 the scenario of income in the

society of a person who is worked on his either own skill

or Art or by under any mode, that person getting the

minimum income sum of Rs.7,000/-P.M.         Therefore, this

Tribunal has come to conclusion that deceased was

earning a sum of Rs.7,000/-p.m. As such, On Looking to

medical evidence and nature of injury sustained by the

petitioner, the Tribunal opines that petitioner was under

bed rest for a period of 3 months and lost his earning in

the said 3 months.   Hence, the petitioner is entitled for

compensation of Rs.7,000 x 3= 21,000/- towards loss of
 (SCCH-15)                        28
                                   MVC. 3176, 3177, 3178 & 3179/2015

past 3 months earning and Loss of future earning can be

calculated as Rs.7,000x12x7x5%100 = 29,400/-which can

be consider sum of Rs.30,000/-.

     23. Thus, petitioner of MVC No.3177/2015 is entitled
for just and reasonable compensation as follows:

    Pain and Sufferings                            Rs.       30,000/-
    Loss of past earnings

                               MVC. 3176, 3177, 3178 & 3179/2015

Now doubt, there is no any evidence with respect of future

medical expense. However, it is true as the petitioner has

requires underwent surgery for removal of implant,

therefore the tribunal has inclined to the requirement of

future medical expenditure to the petitioner and same is

award compensation sum of Rs. 10,000/- towards future

medical expenses.      Further P.W.5 deposed he has

assessed disability of 22.45% to the whole body, the

no any particular documentary to show that, the age of

petitioner, as such in the Ex.P.16-wound certificate is

shown the age of petitioner was 60 years at the time of

accident, in the absence documents with regard to either

date of birth or age proof, then the tribunal inclines

towards medical records i.e., Ex.P.16-wound certificate in

this documents clearly shows that the age of the petitioner

comes to conclusion that the age of the petitioner was 60

years as at the date of accident. Contrary to that there is

nothing on record to disbelieve the age of petitioner is as

60 yrs., Hence, as per directions in the case Sarala Verma

appropriate multiplier is 9.

     28. Now the earning of petitioner is concerned, PW-3

has deposed in his chief examination that he was working

Rs.15,000/- p.m., but there is no any documentary

evidence to showing as the petitioner was earning a sum

of Rs.15,000/-. Under such circumstance, admittedly the

accident was occurred in the year 2015. In the absence of

getting the minimum income sum of Rs.7,000/-P.M.

Therefore, this Tribunal has come to conclusion that

lost his earning in the said 2 months. Hence, the petitioner

towards loss of past 2 months earning and Loss of future

earning can be calculated as Rs.7,000x12x9x10%100 =
