2.
Learned counsel for the respondent No.3-Insurance Company submits that in this matter, the age of the injured was 28 years and 11 months on the date of accident, therefore, as per the settled principle laid down in Sarla Verma & Ors. vs Delhi Transport Corp. & Anr. reported in (2009) 6 SCC 121 and National Insurance Company Limited Vs. Pranay Sethi & Ors. reported in (2017) 16 SCC 680, the multiplier of 17 was to be adopted, whereas, inadvertently multiplier of 18 has been used in this matter. Therefore, learned counsel prays that the necessary correction be made in the order dated 29.01.2026 passed by this Court. 3. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 4. Admittedly, the age of the appellant-claimant on the date of the accident was 28 years and 11 months, therefore, as per the law laid down in Sarla Verma (supra) and Pranay Sethi (supra), multiplier of 17 was to be adopted, however, in the above mentioned judgment multiplier of 18 has wrongly been used. Therefore, this application needs to be allowed. 5. Accordingly, the present application No. 77/2026 is allowed and the judgment dated 29.01.2026 is modified only to the extent of use of multiplier. Therefore, after applying the multiplier of 17 in place of 18, the amount of loss of future income of the appellant-claimant will be calculated as Rs.3,918/- x 12 x 17 = Rs.7,99,272/-. 6. After applying the multiplier of 17, the amount of loss of future income has been changed, therefore, the table mentioned
(3 of 3) [CMAP-77/2026] in Para 20 of the impugned judgment is also to be corrected.
The table mentioned shall be corrected as below:- Øe la[;k 'kh"kZ@en bl fu.kZ; ds rgr fu/kkZfjr dh x;h jkf’k ¼:i;s esa½ 1- Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh vk; vtZu dh {kerk esa deh ds en esa 7]99]272@& 2- 'kkjhfjd o ekufld ihM+k dh en esa 45]000@& 3- Hkfo"; esa gksus okyh lq[k&lqfo/kkvksa dh deh ds en esa 45]000@& 4- ikSf"Vd vkgkj dh en esa 15]000@& 5- ;krk;kr o ifjogu ij O;; jkf'k ds en esa 10]000@& 6- bykt ds nkSjku O;; gqbZ jkf'k ds en esa 1]39]425@& 7- 04 fnol vLirky esa HkrhZ jgus dh en esa 2]400@& 8- byktjr vof/k ds nkSjku gqbZ 03 ekg vk; dh gkfu ds en esa 19]170@& bl U;k;ky; }kjk fu/kkZfjr dh xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k 10]75]267@& fo}ku vf/kdj.k }kjk fnyokbZ xbZ {kfriwfrZ jkf'k ¼&½ 4]06]351@& c<+ksrjh i'pkr {kfriwfrZ jkf'k esa varj 6]68]916@&
