Smt. Bhoori Bai – Appellant
Versus
Gopal Singh – Respondent
This is an appeal filed by the appellants/claimants for enhancement of awarded amount under Section 173(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act against the award dated 13.05.2022 passed by Second Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Ashta Distt. Sehore (M.P.) in Claim Case No.35/2021, by which the Claims Tribunal has awarded a total sum of Rs.12,67,400/-(Twelve Lakhs Sixty Seven Thousand Four Hundred) with interest @ 6% per annum to the claimants for the death of Kamal Singh, who died in motor vehicle accident.
2. According to claimants, the compensation awarded by the learned Tribunal is on lower side, hence need to be enhanced. So the question that arises for consideration is whether any case for enhancement of compensation awarded by the Tribunal on facts/ evidence adduced is made out and if so to what extent?
3. It is not necessary to narrate the entire facts in detail, such as how the accident occurred, who was negligent in driving the offending vehicle, who is liable for paying compensation etc. It is for the reason that all these findings are recorded in favour of claimants by the Tribunal. Secondly, the findings though recorded in favour of claimants are not under challenge at the
