U.P. State Road Transport Corporation ... vs Trilok Chandra & Others on 7 May, 1996
Learned counsel for the respondent No.2-PRTC has further
argued that the Tribunal has considered only the age of the deceased while
the age of the claimant has to be kept in mind for the purpose of multiplier
and has relied upon the judgments in U.P. State Transport Corportation
and others v. Trilok Chandra and others (1996) 4 SCC 362, Ramesh
Singla and others v. Satbir Singh and another 2008 (1) SCC 667 and
Shakti Devi v. New India Insurance Company Ltd. and another 2010
(14) SCC 575, wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court has laid down a
different provision by stating that the multiplier should be applied after
taking into the consideration the age of the claimants.
