Sarla Verma & Ors vs Delhi Transport Corp.& Anr on 15 April, 2009
Now, coming to the quantum of compensation to
which the claimants are entitled, admittedly, the deceased
was aged 21 years. According to the claimants, the deceased
was earning Rs.100/- per day. Therefore, the earnings of the
deceased have to be taken at Rs.3,000/- per month. If the
monthly income of the deceased is taken as Rs.3,000/-, the
annual income would be Rs.36,000/-. Since the deceased
was a bachelor, 50% has to be deducted towards living and
personal expenses. If 50% there from is deducted, the
contribution of the deceased to the family would be
Rs.18,000/-. Since the age of the deceased was 21 years at
the time of the accident, which fact is not in dispute,
applying the ratio laid down in Sarla Verma Vs. Delhi
Transport Corporation , the appropriate multiplier to be
adopted for calculation of loss of earnings would be 18. By
applying the same, the total loss of earnings would come to
Rs.3,24,000/- (Rs.18,000/- x 18).
