The above said Original Petitions were filed for death of husband and wife in a road accident namely N.Murugavel and M.Sharmila. 3. Since both the original petitions are arising out of same accident, they are taken up together for disposal. Both the appeals are filed by the dependents of the deceased persons seeking enhancement of compensation.4. For the sake of convenience, the parties are referred to as per their ranking before the Tribunal.2/14 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis C.M.A.Nos.2956 and 2958 of 20245. It is the case of the claimants that on 11.02.2017, the son of the 1st claimant in both the original petitions and father of the claimants 2 to 4 in both the original petitions namely N.Murugavel was riding his two wheeler bearing Registration No.PY-05-B-1680 in East Coast Road near Marakkanam, having his wife-M.Sharmila, daughter-in-law of the 1st claimant and mother of the claimants 2 to 4. When deceased persons came in the two wheeler near Boomishwaran Kovil, the bus bearing Registration No.TN-01-AN-0435 belonged to the Respondent/Transport Corporation came in a rash and negligent manner and dashed against the two wheeler. As a result of the impact of the collision, both the riders of the two wheeler were thrown away from the vehicle. The driver of the two wheeler died on the spot and the pillion rider, his wife sustained grievous injuries and died in hospital after 9 days. Therefore, the above said original petitions were filed seeking compensation of Rs.75,00,000/- and Rs.25,00,000/- respectively. 6. The claim petitions were resisted by the Respondent/Transport Corporation on the ground that the rider of the two wheeler attempted to 3/14 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis C.M.A.Nos.2956 and 2958 of 2024cross the road without any signal in a rash and negligent manner and hence, the accident had occurred only due to his negligence.7. Before the Tribunal, the 1st appellant/1st claimant was examined as PW.1 in M.C.O.P.No.2283 of 2017 and 1st appellant/1st claimant was examined as PW.2 in M.C.O.P.No.2282 of 2017 and yet another witness was examined as PW.3. On behalf of the claimants, 10 documents were marked as Exs.P1 to P10. On behalf of the respondent-Transport Corporation, one Gopu-Driver of the Transport Corporation was examined as RW.1 and no documents were marked. 8. The Tribunal based on the evidence available on record, came to the conclusion that accident had occurred only due to the negligent driving of the bus by the Respondent/Corporation's driver. The compensation payable to the claimants in C.M.A.No.2956 of 2024(husband) and claimants in C.M.A.No.2958 of 2024(wife) were quantified at Rs.26,97,800/- and Rs.25,97,000/- respectively. Not satisfied with the quantum of compensation, the claimants have come before this Court.4/14 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis C.M.A.Nos.2956 and 2958 of 20249. Though notice is served on the Respondent/Transport Corporation as early as 26.11.2024 and the name of the respondent is printed in the cause-list, there is no representation for the respondent/corporation.10. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellants and perused the typed-set of papers and original records.11. The learned counsel appearing for the appellants would submit that having regard to the date of accident the notional income of Rs.13,000/- per month and Rs.12,500/- per month fixed by the Tribunal for deceased persons in C.M.A.Nos.2956 and 2958 of 2024 respectively are very much on lower side and hence, the same require enhancement.12. A perusal of the claim petitions filed by the claimants would indicate that the deceased N.Murugavel was a Boat Owner and Sea Food Merchant and was earning Rs.65,000/- per month. It was also stated by the claimants that the deceased M.Sharmila was a Sea Food Merchant and was earning Rs.20,000/- per month. In order to prove the avocation, the 5/14 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis C.M.A.Nos.2956 and 2958 of 2024claimants produced Marine Fishers Identity Card issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India for N.Murugavel marked as Ex.P5 and Marine Fishers Identity Card issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India issued to M.Sharmila marked as Ex.P9. However, they have not produced any documentary evidence to prove the income of the deceased persons. Even if there is no proof to show the income of the deceased persons, this Court can fix the notional income by taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case. 13. In the case on hand, the accident had occurred on 11.02.2017. Hence, taking into consideration the date of accident and the prevailing cost of living, this Court is inclined to fix Rs.15,000/- each as notional income for the deceased persons. Infact, Tribunal fixed Rs.13,000/- as notional income for N.Murugavel and Rs.12,500/- as notional income for deceased M.Sharmila. Both of them are engaged in Sea Food Business and Government of India issued Marine Fishers Identity Card to both of them. In these circumstances, absolutely there is no valid reason for the Tribunal to fix two different notional income for the deceased persons. Therefore, in the absence of any concrete evidence to prove the income, this Court is 6/14 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis C.M.A.Nos.2956 and 2958 of 2024inclined to fix notional income for N.Murugavel and M.Sharmila at Rs.15,000/- each per month.14. A perusal of Marine Fishers Identity Card issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India to the deceased persons would indicate that N.Murugavel was born on 01.01.1977 and M.Sharmila was born on 19.03.1985. Therefore, the age of N.Murugavel and M.Sharmila are fixed at 40 years and 32 years respectively. The claimants in C.M.A.No.2956 of 2024 are entitled to 25% enhancement towards future prospects. However, the claimants in C.M.A.No.2958 of 2024 are entitled 40% enhancement towards future prospects. The applicable multiplier for N.Murugavel is 15 and the applicable multiplier for M.Sharmila is 16.15. In view of the discussions made earlier, the loss of dependency for claimants in C.M.A.No.2956 of 2024 (N.Murugavel) is fixed at Rs.25,31,250/- (Rs.15,000 x 1.25 x 12 x 15 x 3/4). The 1st claimant in C.M.A.No.2956 of 2024, mother of the deceased is entitled to Rs.40,000 towards parental consortium.

Therefore, the claimants in C.M.A.No.2956 of 2024 are entitled to Rs.27,21,250/-. Accordingly, the compensation amount is enhanced to Rs.27,21,250/-. 16. The 1st claimant is entitled to withdraw 10% of the total compensation towards her share and the remaining compensation amount shall be equally shared between minor claimants 2 to 4. 17.
