The Tribunal by means of impugned Judgment and award, partly allowed the claim petition and awarded compensation of Rs.9,88,000/- with interest @ 6% per annum from the date of petition till date of payment, as against the claim of Rs.37,50,000/- for the death of Mr.Dharmaraja Shetty. 3. The parties are referred to as per their ranking before the Tribunal. 1 hereinafter referred to as, the Corporation 2 the Tribunal, for short - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 4. The date of accident and death of Mr.Dharmaraja Shetty are not in dispute. The dispute is with regard to quantum by the claimants and liability & quantum by the Corporation. 5. In an accident occurred on 09.05.2016 at about 2:45 pm, due to rash and negligent driving of the driver of the Bus belonging to the Corporation, one Mr.Dharmaraja Shetty who was walking on the left side of mud portion of Dinakara Desai Road of Ankola City in front of DTDC Courier service office of Ankola, Ankola Taluk, Uttara Kannada District, suffered grievous injuries all over the body and died while on the way to the hospital. 6. The claimants being the parents of deceased Dharmaraja Shetty, filed the claim petition seeking compensation of Rs.37,50,000/- along with interest @ 12% per annum from the date of accident till payment. 7. On service of notice, respondents 1 and 2 appeared through their counsel. However, only respondent - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 No.2 filed statement of objections and denied the entire averments made in the claim petition. The Corporation further denied the alleged mode of accident and the grievous injuries caused resulting in death of the deceased. It was contended that the petition filed by the claimants is false, frivolous and vexatious and the same is not sustainable under law or on merits. It was also contended that the compensation claimed is exorbitant, speculative in nature and without any basis. Accordingly, sought to dismiss the claim petition. 8. After completion of pleadings, the Tribunal framed following: ISSUES 1. Whether the petitioners prove that, they are the legal heirs of the deceased Dharmaraja Shetty and they are depending upon the income of the deceased Dharmaraja Shetty? 2. Whether the petitioners prove that, there was a road traffic accident took place on 09.05.2016 at about 2:45 pm, on Dinakara - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 Desai Road, Ankola Shahara of Ankola Taluk due to rash and negligent driving of the driver of the KSRTC Bus bearing Regn.

On behalf of respondents, respondent No.1 was examined as RW.1 and one Traffic Controller of Moffussil - 8 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 Depot-1, NWKRTC, Hubballi division as RW.2 and produced 06 documents, marked as Ex.R1 to R6 & 6(a). 10. The Tribunal upon consideration of all the pleadings as well as evidence, both oral and documentary and also the arguments advanced by the respective parties, answered Issue Nos.1 and 2 in the Affirmative i.e., with respect to relationship of the claimants with the deceased as well as rash and negligent driving of the bus by the driver of the Corporation and answered Issue No.3 on quantum of compensation, partly in the affirmative and awarded compensation of Rs.9,88,000/- with interest @ 6% per annum from the date of petition till payment.

Heard, Sri.Gururaj Shetty, learned counsel appearing for the claimants and Sri.F.S.Dabali, learned counsel appearing for the Corporation. 12. Sri.Gururaj Shetty, learned counsel appearing for the claimants with all vehemence submits that, the date of accident was 09.05.2016, the Tribunal has taken the income at Rs.9,000/- per month, despite the evidence i.e., Bank Statement of deceased Dharmaraja Shetty to show that he was earning Rs.18,000/- per month, as he was running shop in the name and style of ‘Siddivinayaka Pan Stationeries’ and also doing mobile recharging services. Learned counsel further submits that as per Ex.P10, from January 2014 to November 2016 the income of Rs.5,90,306/- was credited to the account of the deceased. Hence, the Tribunal has erred in taking the income only at the rate of Rs.9,000/- per month. Learned counsel further contended that even as per the income fixed under the chart prepared by the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority for settlement of dispute before - 10 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 the Lok-Adalath, the income for the accident occurred in the year 2016 is Rs.9,500/-. Accordingly, sought to consider reasonable amount towards income of the deceased. Further, learned counsel submits that the Tribunal has failed to add future prospectus to the existing income in view of settled position of law by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The Tribunal has also failed to award 10% escalation on compensation awarded under ‘Conventional Heads’ in view of settled position of law. The compensation awarded under the head ‘Loss of Consortium’ is on the lower side as only Rs.40,000/- is awarded and sought to enhance the compensation by dismissing the appeal filed by the Corporation. 13. In contrast, Sri.F.S.Dabali, learned counsel appearing for the Corporation with all vehemence submits that there was no accident caused on 09.05.2016 by the bus bearing Reg. No.KA-31-F-1359 at about 2:45 pm, in the alleged place of accident. He submits that as per Ex.R5 Controller Book and Ex.R6 Log Sheet, the alleged Bus has - 11 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 commenced the journey on 08.05.2016 from Bhatkal Depot at about 7:15 am, and thereafter, left Bhatkal bus stand at 7:30 am. The said bus reached its destiny at Kolhapur, Maharashtra at 19:00 hours. The said bus let Kolhapur but stand on the next day on 09.05.2016 at 6:00 am and while plying through Belagavi, Yellapura route, reached Ankola bus stand at 14:45 hours and on board of passengers, left Ankola bus stand at 15:00 hours, so as to reach Bhatkal. Learned counsel further submits that the alleged accident occurred at 2:45 pm, and deceased died at 3:00 pm. At the time of accident, bus was never on that road at 2:45 pm. 14. Learned counsel further submits that the bus was seized by the police and Motor Vehicle Inspector has conducted inspection and submitted a report on 23.05.2016 and the complaint was filed after 14 days by one Vijay Kumar Yeshwanth Naidu and the said complainant has not stated which vehicle has hit the deceased and has stated that some unknown vehicle has - 12 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 hit the deceased. The Tribunal has failed to consider these aspects of the matter and erroneously fastened liability on the Corporation. With this, he sought to exonerate the Corporation from paying liability and dismiss the claim petition filed by the claimants. 15. Having heard the rival contentions, perused both the appeal paper and also the Trial Court record. The following points would arise for consideration: 1) Whether the Tribunal has erred in fastening the liability on the Corporation? 2) Whether the compensation awarded by the Tribunal requires interference? 16. My answer to the above points for consideration are as under: Point No.1: In the Negative. Point No.2: Partly in the affirmative, for the following: - 13 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 REASONS 17. POINT NO.1: Smt.Rathi Shedti, the mother of the deceased who was examined as PW.1, in her evidence, has deposed that the accident occurred due to rash and negligent driving on the part of the driver of the KSRTC Bus bearing Reg. No.KA-31-F-1359. PW.3 - Eye witness has supported the case of the claimants by stating that the accident occurred due to rash and negligent driving on the part of the driver of the KSRTC Bus bearing Reg. No.KA- 31-F-1359. Whereas, the Traffic Controller who was examined as RW.2 has deposed that the said bus was not plying on the road in between 2:45 pm to 3:00 pm, hence the accident was not occurred by their vehicle. However, in the cross-examination, at page No.3, he has deposed as under: “zÀÆgÀ¢AzÀ §gÀĪÀ §¸ÀÄìUÀ¼ÀÄ ¨ÉÃgÉ ¨ÉÃgÉ PÁgÀt¢AzÀ §¸ÀÄì ¤¯ÁÝtPÉÌ §gÀĪÀ ªÀÄvÀÄÛ ºÉÆÃUÀĪÀ ¸ÀªÀÄAiÀÄzÀ°è ¸Àé®à ºÉZÀÄÑ PÀrªÉÄ DUÀÄvÀÛzÉ JAzÀgÉ ¤d. ¤Dgï5gÀ°ègÀĪÀ ¤Dgï5J UÉ ¸ÀA§AzsÀ¥ÀlÖ ¸ÀªÀÄAiÀÄ 15 UÀAmÉ CAvÀ §gÉ¢gÀĪÀÅzÀÄ ¥ÀÄl DgÀA¨sÀªÁzÀ ¢£ÁAPÀ JAzÀgÉ ¸Àj.

Thus, in the cross-examination, RW.2 has clearly admitted that, the entry in the log book was made on 30.04.2016 at 3:00 pm i.e., at the starting page of the said book. Further, the cross-examination also reveals that, on the alleged date of accident, they did not make any entry, at what time the said bus arrived at Ankola Bus Stand so also make any entry to show that, at what time the said bus has departed from Ankola Bus Stand. Thus, there is no oral or documentary evidence to show that the said bus was not plying on the said road in between 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm on the date of accident. 19. One Mr.Yogesh Venkataramana Naika, the eye witness was examined as PW.3. The relevant portion of his cross-examination is extracted as under: “C¥ÀWÁvÀªÁzÀ eÁUÀªÀÅ ¥ÉmÉÆæÃ¯ï §APï£À ¸Àé®à ºÉÆgÀUÀqÉ CAzÀgÉ ¸ÀĪÀiÁgÀÄ 50 Cr zÀÆgÀzÀ eÁUÀªÁVzÀÄÝ, C¥ÀWÁvÀªÁzÁUÀ ºÉZÀÄÑ PÀrªÉÄ ªÀÄzsÁåºÀß 2.30 UÀAmÉ DVgÀ§ºÀÄzÀÄ. £À£ÀUÉ NqÁl DUÀÄvÀÛzÉ JAzÀÄ ºÉý £Á£ÀÄ D §UÉÎ ¥ÉÆðøÀjUÉ zÀÆgÀ£ÀÄß PÉÆnÖgÀĪÀÅ¢®è, ªÀĺÁ®¸À a£ÀßzÀ CAUÀr EgÀĪÀ PÀlÖqÀ DVgÀÄvÀÛzÉ.

No contra evidence is produced by the Corporation to discredit the evidence of PW.3, the eye witness. The Tribunal having considered these aspects of the matter, in the teeth of evidence of PW.3 - Eye witness, observed that the accident had occurred due to rash and negligent driving of the KSRTC bus bearing Reg. No.KA- 31-F-1359, resulting in death of Mr.Dharmaraja Shetty. The said finding of the Tribunal does not call for any interference at the hands of this Court. Accordingly, point No.1 is answered in the Negative. Consequently, the appeal filed by the corporation is liable to be dismissed. - 16 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 21. POINT NO.2: So far as quantum of compensation is concerned, it is not in dispute that the accident occurred on 09.05.2016. The claimants have produced Ex.P10 Bank account to show that the deceased was earning handsome income of Rs.18,000/- per month, as from January 2014 to November 2016, his account was credited with Rs.5,90,306/-. As per the Chart prepared by the KSLSA for settlement of disputes before the Lok- Adalat, the income fixed for the accident occurred in the year 2016 is Rs.9,500/-. However, the Tribunal has considered the income at Rs.9,000/- per month. Considering the fact that the deceased was running Stationeries shop and doing mobile recharge services, so also his Bank account, this Court is of the opinion that if the income is considered at Rs.10,000/- per month, the same would meet the ends of justice. 22. Further, a perusal of the award clearly indicates that under the head ‘Loss of Consortium’, the Tribunal has awarded Rs.40,000/-. Admittedly, there are two claimants - 17 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 and each one is entitled for compensation of Rs.40,000/- under the head ‘Loss of Consortium’. In that view of the matter, the claimants are entitled for loss of consortium another sum of Rs.40,000/-. The Tribunal has also erred in not adding future prospectus to the existing income of the deceased. 23. Further, this Court finds force in the argument of learned counsel Sri.Gururaja Shetty, that the claimants are also entitled for 10% escalation on each completed 03 years since 2017, on the compensation awarded under the conventional head. In the case on hand there are two completed terms of 03 years. Accordingly, the claimants are entitled for 20% escalation of compensation awarded under Conventional heads. 24. Having considered the higher income, consortium, future prospectus, as well as escalation at 20%, the compensation awarded by the Tribunal requires reconsideration and re-assessment, which is as follows: - 18 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 Sl. No. Heads Compensation awarded by the Tribunal In Rs. By this Court In Rs. 1. Loss of Dependency 9,18,000-00 14,28,000-00 (10,000+40%x12x17x50%) 2. Loss of Consortium 40,000-00 80,000-00 3. Loss of estate 15,000-00 15,000-00 4. Funeral, obsequies expenses and transportation of body 15,000-00 15,000-00 5. 10% escalation on two terms of three completed years. - 22,000-00 TOTAL Rs.9,88,000-00 Rs.15,60,000-00 25. Accordingly, the claimants are entitled for reassessed compensation of Rs.15,60,000/-, as against Rs.9,88,000/- as awarded by the Tribunal, which shall carry interest @ 6% per annum from the date of petition till realization. 26. For the foregoing reasons, this Court proceeds to pass the following: ORDER (i) The appeal filed by the Claimants in MFA No.7196/2018 is allowed in part. The - 19 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29550 MFA No. 7196 of 2018 C/W MFA No. 7690 of 2018 appeal filed by the Corporation in MFA No.7690/2018 is dismissed.

Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Udupi (sitting at Kundapura), Kundapura in M.V.C No.999/2016 is modified and the compensation is reassessed. (iii) The amount in deposit in the Corporation’s appeal shall be transmitted to the concerned Tribunal for disbursement. (iv) The Claimants are entitled for reassessed compensation of Rs.15,60,000/- with interest @ 6% per annum from the date of petition till realization.
