6. The respondent No.1 has filed written statement and contended that, the petition is not maintainable either in law or on facts and it is liable to be dismissed in limine. It is contended that he has denied the accident by side of the driver of his vehicle and it is duly insured with respondent No.2 and as on the date of accident the policy was in force.

The accident occurred solely due to the negligence on the part of the deceased himself who was riding his vehicle without wearing helmet and caused the accident, the petitioners in collision with the jurisdictional police have created false crime records and story about the manner and involvement of the Lorry to get the compensation and have lodged false complaint against the insured vehicle.

SCCH-19 10 10 MVC. 4043/2023

18. To prove the contention that, the insured vehicle has been falsely implicated, the respondent No.2 has not adduced any evidence. On the other hand, PW.1 has stated about the involvement of the offending vehicle in the accident. In cross-examination, he has stated that he has seen the CC TV Camera Footage and confirms the causing of the accident and involvement of the offending vehicle. The petitioners have examined the eyewitness of the accident one Mr. Arun Giri as PW.2. Wherein he has stated that on 14-06-2023 he was going to drop the passengers, at that time about 5.30a.m. opposite of the Prestige Apartment one vehicle No.KA-51/AB-8883 TATA Canter hit the TVS Excel. He parked his vehicle, the driver of the Canter ran away from the spot, he saw the vehicle number and he left the spot to drop the passengers. At about 11.30am he was return and saw that police were at the spot and he has given the details of vehicles to the police. In cross-examination nothing worthy has been elicited from the mouth of PW.2 to disbelieve his evidence. On perusal of the evidence of PW.2, it appears that he is the eyewitness to the accident and he saw the offending vehicle causing the accident. Therefore, it appears that the offending vehicle has caused the accident.

19. Further, PW.3 has stated in his chief-examination that, At the time of PM the tier marks were found on the SCCH-19 11 11 MVC. 4043/2023 body. As per the direction of the Investigation Officer, he has collected the CC TV footage from White Meadows Apartments and Ramdev Medical for the concerned time. As per CC TV Footage the accident took place between two wheeler and Canter. The Canter was having cement blocks and rear side of the Canter SRCP was written in red colour. In cross-examination nothing worthy has been elicited from the mouth of PW.3 to disbelieve his evidence. On perusal of the evidence of PW.3, it appears that, from the CC TV Footage, the offending vehicle has been traced out and it is involved in the accident. During the arguments by the petitioners' side, this Tribunal has played the Pen Drive and saw the passing of offending vehicle at the spot. Therefore, this Tribunal is of the opinion that the offending vehicle has caused the accident and petitioners have proved the involvement of the offending vehicle in the accident.

20. On perusal of Ex.P.5 spot sketch, it discloses that the accident occurred on the side of the road and the deceased on his side, though there is sufficient space for moving the offending vehicle on left side of said vehicle, the driver of offending vehicle took his vehicle to his right side and dashed to the Petitioner and caused the accident. Further on perusal of Ex.P.10 and 11 i.e., notice U/Sec.133 of IMV Act and reply to the said notice, in the reply the owner of SCCH-19 12 12 MVC. 4043/2023 the vehicle admitted that the driver was driving the vehicle on the date of alleged accident and he is having valid D.L. and insurance was in force on the date of accident. So it clearly indicates that the offending vehicle was involved in the accident. Further on perusal of charge sheet it discloses that, the Whitefield Traffic Police filed the case against the driver of TATA Canter Lorry bearing Reg.No.KA- 51/AB-8883 and another by name Narayana A.P. for the offence punishable U/Sec.279 and 304(A) of IPC r/w Sec.134(A & B), 187, 146 and 196 of IMV Act. But, there is no any material to hold that, there is a contributory negligence on the part of the deceased.

21. The Hon'ble Apex Court in the decision reported in 2011 SAR(Civil) 319 Kausum and others V/s Satbir and others held that, in the petition for compensation U/Sec.166 of Motor Vehicles Act.1988 the petitioners have to prove the incident only on the preponderance of the probabilities and standard of proof beyond all reasonable doubt is not required.

22. After careful scrutiny of Ex.P.1-F.I.R. Ex.P.2-Complaint, Ex.P.3-further statement of complainant, Ex.P.4-Spot Mahazar, Ex.P.5-Sketch, Ex.P.7-IMV report, Ex.P.9- Eyewitness statements, Ex.P.19-charge sheet, Ex.P.10-Copy of Notice U/Sec.133 of IMV act and Ex.P.11 reply to the Notice U/Sec.133 of IMV Act, Ex.P.30 the Pen Drive, it appears that, SCCH-19 13 13 MVC. 4043/2023 as on the date of alleged accident, the driver of offending vehicle drove his vehicle in a rash and negligent manner and dashed against the deceased motorcycle and caused the accident. Therefore considering all these aspects, this Tribunal came to conclusion that, the said accident occurred due to the rash and negligent driving of the driver of the TATA Canter Lorry bearing Reg.No.KA-51/AB-8883. Accordingly, this Tribunal is answered Issue No.1 in the affirmative.

23. Issue No.2: The petitioners claiming compensation amount of Rs.50,00,000/- with respect to death of Mr. Pratham M. in a road traffic accident. The petitioners have stated that, due to sudden death of the deceased they lost love, affection and future support of the deceased and also they were undergoing great mental agony and hardship. The deceased was the sole bread earner of the family.

24. To prove the age of the deceased, the petitioners produced notarized copies of SSLC and PUC Marks Cards and Aadhaar Card of the deceased which are marked as Ex.P.20, P.26 and P.27. As per said documents, date of birth of the deceased is shown as 29.10.2004. This accident occurred in the year 2023. Hence the age of the deceased is taken into consideration as 19 years at the time of accident. Then the proper multiplier is 18.

SCCH-19 14 14 MVC. 4043/2023

25. The Petitioners stated that, prior to the date of accident the deceased was hale, healthy and he was joining Veritastech Pilot Academy Coach and also doing part time job like milk and paper distributor and earning a sum of Rs.20,000/-p.m. and used his entire income for the maintenance of his family. The petitioners not examined any witness and produced any document to prove actual income and avocation of the deceased. In present days the coolie worker can gets Rs.500/- to 600/- per day. Therefore, by considering the age and occupation of deceased this Tribunal taken notional income of the deceased at Rs.16,000/- p.m.

26. With regard to the loss of future prospectus is concern, the Apex court in the earlier Judgment reported in 2013 ACJ 1403 (Rajesh & Ors Vs Rajbir Singh & Ors) also taken note of the fact that, self employed persons are also entitled for future prospectus and the said Judgment was referred to larger bench and the Apex court in the recent Judgment passed in 2017 ACJ 2700 SC (between National Insurance co. ltd., V/s Pranay Sethi and others.) "In case the deceased was self employed or on a fixed salary, an addition of 40% of the established income should be the warrant where the deceased was below the age of 40 year. An addition of 25% where the deceased was between the age of 40 to 50 years and SCCH-19 15 15 MVC. 4043/2023 10% where the deceased was between the age of 50 to 60 years, should be regarded as the necessary method of computation. The established income means the income minus the tax component"

Herein this case, the deceased is aged about 19 years at the time of accident and no document produced to prove his actual income and avocation. Hence the Petitioners are entitled to claim 40% of future prospectus as per above citation, due to death of the deceased in the road traffic accident.

27. It is pertinent to note that, the petitioners are parents, brother and sister of the deceased. Hence the petitioners No.1 to 4 are considered as dependents on the income of the deceased. So relying upon the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 2009 ACJ 1298 (Sarla Varma and others -Vs- Delhi Transport Corporation & another), out of the income of the deceased 50% has to be deducted towards Personal expenses of the deceased as the deceased is the Unmarried / Bachelor.

a) Income of deceased is taken at Rs. 16,000-00

b) Addition of 40% income towards Rs.

future prospectus @ Rs.16,000/-

22,400-00 + 6,400/- (40%) SCCH-19 16 16 MVC. 4043/2023

c) Deduction towards personal expenses:

                                    Rs.          11,200-00
     Out of Rs.22,500/- - (50%) =
     Rs.11,200/-


Therefore this tribunal taken monthly income of the deceased at Rs.11,200/-, which comes as under:-

Rs.11,200 X 12 X 18 = Rs.24,19,200/- Hence, the Petitioners are entitled for compensation of Rs.24,19,200/- under the head loss of dependency.

28. The petitioners are the parents, sisters and brother of the deceased, they lost love, affection and future support of the deceased. In this regard the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India was held in the case of Magma General Insurance Co. ltd., V/s Nanu Ram @ Chuhru Ram & Ors., (Civil Appeal No.9581/2018 (Arising out of SLP (civil) 3192/2018) The Motor Vehicles Act is a beneficial legislation aimed at providing relief to the victims or their families, in cases of genuine claims. In case where a parent has lost their minor child, or unmarried son or daughter, the parents are entitled to be awarded loss of consortium under the head of Filial Consortium.

Parental consortium is awarded to children who lose their parents in motor vehicle accidents under the Act.

A few High courts have awarded compensation on this count. However, there was no clarity with respect to SCCH-19 17 17 MVC. 4043/2023 the principles on which compensation could be awarded on loss of Filial Consortium.

The amount of compensation to be awarded as consortium will be governed by the Principles of awarding compensation under "Loss of consortium" as laid down in Pranay Sethi (Supra).

In the present case, we deem it appropriate to award the father and the sister of the deceased, an amount of Rs.40,000/- each, for loss of Filial Consortium.

Hence, the Petitioners No.1 to 5 are entitled compensation for an amount of Rs.40,000/- each under the head loss of Filial Consortium.

29. The petitioners claiming that, they have spent Rs.3,50,000/- towards transportation of dead body, funeral and obsequies ceremonies of the deceased. but they have not produced any documents in this respect. Considering the expenses towards funeral and obsequies ceremonies of the deceased and in view of judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court passed in 2017 ACJ 2700 SC (between National Insurance co. ltd., V/s Pranay Sethi and others), it is just and proper to award a Rs.15,000/- under this head. Further the Petitioners are also entitled for compensation of Rs.15,000/- under the head loss of estate.

SCCH-19 18 18 MVC. 4043/2023

30. Considering oral evidence coupled with documentary evidence, it is just and proper to grant compensation as follows:

Sl.
           Under the Heads of                  Amount
No.
1.    Loss of dependency                Rs.    24,19,200-00

2.    Towards Filial Consortium         Rs.     2,00,000-00
3.    Towards funeral and               Rs.       15,000-00
      obsequies ceremonies
4.    Towards loss of estate            Rs.       15,000-00
                   Total                Rs.    26,49,200-00


The petitioners are entitled for total compensation of Rs.26,49,200/-.

31. Interest:

In so far as awarding of interest on the compensation amount is concerned, in MFA.No.103557/2016 (between Sriram General Insurance Co. ltd., V/s Smt. Lakshmi & others, dd 20-03-2018) the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka, Bengaluru has held that as per Sec.34 of CPC the rate of interest that can be awarded on Judgments cannot be more than 6% p.a. and that since Sec.149 of M.V. Act provides for the interest on Judgments, the interest to be awarded in claim Petitions has to be 6% p.a. SCCH-19 19 19 MVC. 4043/2023 and not more than that. Hence, I hold that the petitioner is entitled for interest @ 6% p.a., from the date of petition till the date of payment.

32. Liability:-

The respondent No.1 is the owner & respondent No.2 is the insurer of the Tanker Lorry bearing Reg.No.KA-51/AB-8883. As already discussed in the Issue No.1 it is proved that, the accident occurred due to rash and negligent riding of the rider of the offending vehicle, hence respondent No.1 & 2 are jointly and severally liable to pay compensation to the petitioner. Further the respondent No.2 being Insurer of the offending vehicle is primarily held liable to pay the compensation amount with interest to the petitioner. Accordingly, this Tribunal is answered Issue No.2 in the Partly Affirmative.

33. Issue No.3:- For the foregoing reasons, this Tribunal has proceed to pass the following:-

ORDER The claim petition filed by the Petitioners under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act is hereby Partly allowed with cost as hereunder.
