Reported in: 109(2004)DLT148; 2004(73)DRJ748

S.K. Mahajan, J. 1. The appellant has filed this appeal for enhancement of compensation for the death of their son in a road accident caused by the rash and negligent driving of the offending vehicle being driven by its driver. The only ground urged in the appeal is that the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal while assessing the loss of dependency to the parents has not taken into consideration the future prospects in the life and career of the deceased and the dependency has been taken as 1/4th of the income of the deceased in place of 2/3rd as is normally taken in such cases. 2. The deceased was admittedly earning Rs. 1150/- per month by way of salary from his employer. It is now well-settled that while assessing loss of dependency to the family of the deceased, the Court must take into consideration the future prospects in the life and career of the deceased.
