NEW INDIA INSURANCE CO LTD Vs. MUNNI DEVI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned Counsel for the appellant and Sri M. N. Siddiqui, Advocate on behalf of claimants-respondents.

(2.) ONE Jagat Pal, aged about 21 years, was going on foot on road when he was hit by Jeep (Registration No. UP 78 H 2716) on 7-2- 1995 at about 9. 30 a. m. near Udaipur Jhal (Kanpur Nagar), as a consequence of which, he received injuries and died. In the course of the said accident, one Pappan alias Brajesh also died.

(3.) NONE of the legal grounds contained in the First Appeal From Order before this Court are available in view of statutory defences provided under Section 149, Motor Vehicles Act. Even otherwise, we have perused the judgment passed by the concerned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal and find that it had given deduction of Rs. 500/- per month on the head of 'personal expenses'. Multiplier applied by the Tribunal has also not been challenged. We have checked up from the schedule contained in the Motor Vehicles Act and considering the age of the mother, multiplier of 15 has rightly been applied.
