ANITA CHAUDHRY
Veer Kaur alias Baljinder Kaur – Appellant
Versus
Sandeep Kumar Yadav – Respondent
Mrs. Anita Chaudhry, J.: - This is the claimants appeal seeking enhancement.
2. Counsel for the appellants at the outset urges that the wife and the mother were the claimants and Rs. 1,00,000/- should have been awarded to each of the claimants on the heads of loss of affection instead of Rs. 10,000/-. It was urged that the funeral expenses are also on the lower side. It was contended that the deceased was 28 years old and therefore, multiplier applicable should have been 17 instead of 11 and future prospects should have been allowed and 50% addition should have been made in the income to calculate the loss. It was urged that the claimants were also entitled to Rs. 1,00,000/- for loss to the estate.
3. The submission on the other hand was that the multiplier keeping the age of the claimants had to be considered and the Tribunal had rightly applied the multiplier. It was urged that the issue regarding future prospects is pending before a Larger Bench as there was a conflict in the decisions and the claimants were not entitled to any further increase.
