Miscellaneous First Appeal Nos.2053 of 2014, 2054 of 2014, 2055 of 2014, 2056 of 2014, 2058 of 2014 and 2059 of 2014 are filed by the claimant(s)-injured/dependants of the deceased challenging the judgment and award dated 16-12-2013 passed in M.V.C. Nos.569 of 2009, 565 of 2009, 568 of 2009, 567 of 2009, 278 of 2010 and 566 of 2009, respectively, on the file of the learned Principal Senior Civil Judge and Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal-IV, at Davangere (for short, 'the Tribunal'). 3. For the sake of convenience, the parties are referred to as per their rankings before the Tribunal. - 10 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37283-DB MFA No. 2053 of 2014 C/W MFA No. 2054 of 2014 MFA No. 2055 of 2014 AND 3 OTHERS 4. Brief facts of the case are that on 03.01.2009 at about 4.30 a.m., the claimant(s)/injured, Sri Shakeel Ahamed and Master Wasim Akram @ Wasim Ahamed were proceeding in a vehicle, bearing Registration No.KA-17/A-4178, from Davangere to Hyderabad and when they reached NH-7 near Ameeth Cotton Mill, Shadnagar, Andhra Pradesh, a driver of a lorry, bearing Registration No.TN-33/AJ-7979, came from opposite direction in a rash and negligent manner and dashed against the vehicle. Due to the impact of accident, Sri Shakeel Ahamed and Master Wasim Akram @ Wasim Ahamed sustained fatal injuries and died on the spot. Many of the injured were first taken to the Government Hospital at Shadnagar and then, they were shifted to Osmania Hospital, Hyderabad. Some of the injured also took treatment at different Hospitals in Davangere. This led to registration of an First Information Report and investigation. Hence, the claimant(s)/injured and the dependants of the deceased filed different claim petitions under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, before the Tribunal seeking compensation under various heads. - 11 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37283-DB MFA No. 2053 of 2014 C/W MFA No. 2054 of 2014 MFA No. 2055 of 2014 AND 3 OTHERS 5. Heard Sri V. Mahesha, learned counsel for the appellant(s)/claimant(s) and Sri P.B. Raju, learned counsel for respondent No.3/Insurance Company. 6. Learned counsel for the appellant/claimant in M.F.A. No.2053 of 2014 has contended that the claimant suffered fracture of left forearm and lefort III, bilateral lefort-III fracture, inter-articular fracture of left distal radius and corneal abrasions (left eye) of 3rd nerve palsy, and fracture of right acetabulum. The claimant has spent more than Rs.8,00,000/- towards 'medical treatment', but the Tribunal has awarded a meager compensation of Rs.3,10,000/- under the said head, which is on lower side; the claimant suffered disability at 40% to the facial component and 30% permanent physical disability, but the Tribunal has considered the disability at 10%, which is on lower side, and the Tribunal has awarded meager compensation under other conventional heads. 7. Learned counsel for the appellant/claimant in M.F.A. No.2054 of 2014 has contended that though the claimant has suffered fracture of right radius ulna (forearm), the Tribunal has awarded meager compensation of Rs.10,000/-. - 12 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37283-DB MFA No. 2053 of 2014 C/W MFA No. 2054 of 2014 MFA No. 2055 of 2014 AND 3 OTHERS 8. Learned counsel for the appellants/claimants in M.F.A. No.2055 of 2014 has contended that the deceased died at young age and the Tribunal has considered his income at Rs.3,000/- per month, which is on lower side. The Tribunal has not considered the future prospects. Further, the Tribunal has considered the multiplier at '11', but for age group between 15 and 20, the multiplier is '18'. 9. Learned counsel for the appellant/claimant in M.F.A. No.2056 of 2014 has contended that though the claimant has suffered grievous injuries on his face, right side of the eye, nose, head, bleeding from right ear, fracture of nasal bones, fracture of right condylar and missing of upper teeth Nos.6 and 4, and lower teeth No.6, the Tribunal has awarded meagre compensation of Rs.15,000/-. 10. Learned counsel for the appellant/claimant in M.F.A. No.2058 of 2014 has contended that though the claimant has suffered injuries on his chest, shoulder, face, nose and fracture of clavicle, the Tribunal has awarded meager compensation of Rs.5,000/-. - 13 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37283-DB MFA No. 2053 of 2014 C/W MFA No. 2054 of 2014 MFA No. 2055 of 2014 AND 3 OTHERS 11. Learned counsel for the appellant/claimant in M.F.A. No.2059 of 2014 has contended that though the claimant has suffered grievous injuries on his chest, face, head, both hands and legs, the Tribunal has awarded meager compensation of Rs.10,000/-. Hence, on all these grounds, he prayed for enhancement of the compensation in the appeals. 12. Per contra, the learned counsel for respondent No.3-Insurance Company, supports the impugned judgment and award passed by the Tribunal and submits that considering the oral and documentary evidence on record, the Tribunal awarded just and reasonable compensation under each head, which does not call for any interference at the hands of this Court. Thus, he prayed for dismissal of the appeals. IN M.F.A. NO.2053 OF 2014: 13. The claimant suffered fracture of left forearm and lefort III, bilateral lefort-III fracture, inter-articular fracture of left distal radius and corneal abrasions (left eye) of 3rd nerve - 14 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37283-DB MFA No. 2053 of 2014 C/W MFA No. 2054 of 2014 MFA No. 2055 of 2014 AND 3 OTHERS palsy, and fracture of right acetabulum. Hence, we enhance Rs.50,000/- towards 'pain and sufferings'. 14. The Tribunal awarded a sum of Rs.50,000/- towards 'future medical expenses'. Considering the nature of injuries and discomfort and a period of rest, the claimant has undergone, we enhance Rs.50,000/- under this head. 15. Further, the Tribunal awarded compensation of Rs.50,000/- towards 'loss of amenities', Rs.3,10,000/- towards 'medical expenses', Rs.60,000/- towards 'loss of income during laid-up period' and Rs.50,000/- towards 'attendant charges', same are maintained. 16. Thus, the claimant is entitled for the following compensation: HEADS Rs. Pain and sufferings 1,00,000.00 Future medical expenses 1,00,000.00 Loss of amenities 50,000.00 Medical expenses 3,10,000.00 Loss of income during laid-up period 60,000.00 Attendant charges 50,000.00 TOTAL 6,70,000.00 Less: Compensation awarded by the Tribunal 5,70,000.00 ENHANCED COMPENSATION 1,00,000.00 - 15 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37283-DB MFA No. 2053 of 2014 C/W MFA No. 2054 of 2014 MFA No. 2055 of 2014 AND 3 OTHERS IN M.F.A. NO.2054 OF 2014: 17. We have perused the evidence of PW5- claimant/injured. He has suffered fracture of right radius ulna (forearm). The Tribunal awarded compensation of Rs.10,000/- which is on the lower side. Hence, the claimant is entitled to global compensation of Rs.40,000/-. IN M.F.A. NO.2055 OF 2014: 18. The Tribunal has taken the income of the deceased at Rs.3,000/- per month without any proof. No documentary evidence is placed on record with regard to income of the deceased. In the absence of any proof of income, taking note of the Circular issued by the Karnataka Legal Services Authority as well as the High Court Legal Services Committee, Bengaluru, we deem it appropriate to reassess the notional income of the deceased at Rs.5,000/- per month. 19. As per the dictum of the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of National Insurance Company Limited v. Pranay Sethi and Others reported in (2017) 16 SCC 680, 40% of the income must be added towards future prospects, which - 16 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37283-DB MFA No. 2053 of 2014 C/W MFA No. 2054 of 2014 MFA No. 2055 of 2014 AND 3 OTHERS comes to Rs.2,000/- (5,000 x 40%) and the total income comes to Rs.7,000/- per month (5,000 + 2,000). The claimants, i.e. mother and father of the deceased, are the dependants of the deceased and the deceased was a bachelor. Therefore, 50% of the income shall be deducted towards the personal expenses of the deceased and it works out to Rs.3,500/- per month (7,000 X 50%). The deceased was aged 16 years as on the date of the accident. Hence, the applicable multiplier would be ‘18’ and it works out to Rs.7,56,000/- (3,500 X 12 X 18). This would be the ‘loss of dependency’ as against Rs.3,96,000/- awarded by the Tribunal. 20. In the case of Magma General Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Nanu Ram alias Chuhru Ram and Others reported in (2018) 18 SCC 130, the Hon’ble Apex Court by referring to the decision of the Constitution Bench in Pranay Sethi's case, stated supra, has discussed about granting the compensation under the head of ‘loss of consortium’ and has also issued guidelines for grant of ‘spousal consortium’, ‘parental consortium’ and ‘filial consortium’. The claimants are the mother and the father of the deceased. In view of the ratio laid Page No.16 Retyped and Replaced vide Chambers Order dated 30/04/2026. - 17 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37283-DB MFA No. 2053 of 2014 C/W MFA No. 2054 of 2014 MFA No. 2055 of 2014 AND 3 OTHERS down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the aforesaid decision, the claimants are entitled to compensation of Rs.80,000/- (Rs.40,000/- each) towards ‘loss of consortium’. 21. Further, Rs.15,000/- towards 'funeral expenses' and Rs.15,000/- towards 'loss of estate' are awarded by this Court. 22. Thus, the claimants are entitled for the following compensation: HEADS Rs. Loss of dependency 7,56,000.00 Loss of consortium 80,000.00 Loss of estate 15,000.00 Funeral expenses 15,000.00 TOTAL 8,66,000.00 Less: Compensation awarded by the Tribunal 4,46,000.00 ENHANCED COMPENSATION 4,20,000.00 IN M.F.A. NO.2056 OF 2014: 23. The claimant was aged about 50 years as on the date of accident and was working as a Teacher. As per PW12-Doctor and Exs.P229 to 237, the claimant suffered grievous injuries on his face, right side of the eye, nose, head, bleeding from right ear, fracture of nasal bones, fracture of right condylar and Page No.17 Retyped and Replaced vide Chambers Order dated 30/04/2026. - 18 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37283-DB MFA No. 2053 of 2014 C/W MFA No. 2054 of 2014 MFA No. 2055 of 2014 AND 3 OTHERS missing of upper teeth Nos.6 and 4, and lower teeth No.6. The Tribunal has awarded meagre compensation of Rs.15,000/- which is on lower side. Hence, the claimant is entitled to global compensation of Rs.1,00,000/-. IN M.F.A. NO.2058 OF 2014: 24. The claimant suffered injuries on his chest, shoulder, face, nose and fracture of clavicle. The Tribunal awarded compensation of Rs.5,000/- which is on the lower side. Hence, the claimant is entitled to global compensation of Rs.40,000/-. IN M.F.A. NO.2059 OF 2014: 25. The claimant suffered grievous injuries on his chest, face, head, both hands and legs. The Tribunal awarded compensation of Rs.10,000/- which is on the lower side. Hence, the claimant is entitled to global compensation of Rs.40,000/-. 26.
