MUNNI DEVI Vs. JAIPUR VIDYUT VITRAN NIGAM LTD

JUDGEMENT

(1.) ADMIT .

(2.) ON the request of learned Counsel for both the parties, the final arguments were heard in the appeal and the same is being disposed of.

(3.) THE only submission of learned Counsel for the appellant is that although this is a case of fatal accident but learned trial Court has applied the multiplier of 10 only, whereas as per second schedule appended to Section 163A of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the multiplier of 15 should have been applied, therefore, the amount of compensation may be enhanced accordingly. He also submits that learned trial Court committed an illegality in not awarding the interest on the amount of compensation from the date of suit.
