JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) Delay condoned.
(2.) Leave granted.
(3.) In the accident occurred on 4.5.2013, Dharmendra, aged about 24 years lost his life. He was studying Masters of Business Administration course. He was unmarried. The Motor Accident
Claims Tribunal awarded compensation to the tune of Rs.7,35,000/-
and the High Court enhanced the same to Rs.11,64,000/-. The
claimants are before this Court seeking further enhancement. The
High Court has quantified the compensation taking the notional
income of the deceased at Rs.7,500/- per month. This assessment of
monthly income notionally, in our considered opinion, is on the
lesser side. Since the deceased was also a graduate and was
pursuing his masters course with a view to get a better job in
Business Administration, the High Court, at least, could have taken
Rs.10,000/- per month as notional income of the deceased.;
