JUSTICE RENUKA'TARA M.A.C.M.A.N0.679 OF 2023 JUDGMENT:- This is an appeal preferred by the appellants/claimants aggrieved by the order, dated 24.03.2023 passed irr O.P.No.256 of 2019 by the learned Chairman, Motor Accident Clairns Tribunal-cum- Principal District Judge, Mahabubnagar (for short, 'the Tribunal'), wherein an amount of Rs.2,34,500/- has been aw;:rded in a claim petition filed seeking compensation of Rs.6,00,000r- on account of death of a minor child aged one year in a road traffic accident.

2. Heard both sides. Perused the record.

3. The brief facts of the case are that on 29.10.2018 at 8:30 hours at Kothur Village, Ranga Reddy, one Bolero vehicle bearing No.TS34/T- 5977 driven by respondent No.1 came in a rash and negligent manner and dashed the deceased in front of the house of the appellants. As such, the claim petition is flled. The appellants/claimants have examined P.Ws.1 and 2 and got marked Exs.At to AB. The respondents did not examine any witnesses but go: marked Ex.B1- copy of insurance policy. Upon examining the eviden,:e on record, the \riOunat awarded compensation of Rs.2,34,500/- witr interest at 9olo I per annum payable by the respondents jointly and severally. 2 Aggrieved by the same, the present appeal is preferred by the claimants seeking enhancement of compensation.

4. In grounds of appeal, it is contended that the notional income of a child is taken by the Tribunal at Rs.15,000/- per annum and the same is meager and also pleaded that the multiplier is erroneously taken as'15' instead of '18'. The appellants relied upon the judgment of this Court in M.A.C.M.A.No.1575 of 2024, dated 09.06.2025, wherein the notional income of flve years old child is taken at Rs.30,000/- per annum.

5. In view of the facts and circumstances of the present case, the notional income of the deceased infant who is aged one year is taken at Rs.30,000/- per annum. To quantify the compensation towards loss of future prospects, if 4oo/o of the income is included as future prospects, the annual income would be Rs.42,000/- (Rs'30,000/- + t2,OO0/-). As per the authority in Sarla Verma v. Delhi Transport Corporationl, . if .-the aforesaid annual income is multiplied with relevant multiplier of '15', the loss of future earnings of the deceased comes to RS.6,3O,OOO/- (Rs.42,000/- x 15) and if 50o/o is deducted towards personal expenses, then the total income cornes to Rs.3,15,000/-. \zoos1 o s.c.c. rzr 3

6. In addition, the appellants are entifled to R:;.44,000/_ each towards filial consortium, Rs.20,000/_ towards funeral expenses and Rs.20,000/- towards loss of estate. In total, the appellants are entitled to Rs.4,43,000/_ towards compensation. 7. Accordingly, the M.A.C.M.A. is partly allowed. The compensation awarded by the Tribunal is hereby enhanced from Rs.2,34,500/_ to 'Rs.4,43,000/- with interest @ 9% per annum on the enhanced compensation from the date of petition tiil the date of rearization.
