Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Jan-18-2000

Reported in: 2000(3)MPHT237

S.P. Khare, J.1. Appellant Sunil Kumar has been convicted under Section 20(b)(i) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (hereinafter to be referred to as the 'Act') for being found in unlawful possession of 600 grams of Ganja on 22-4-1999 and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for one year and a fine of Rs. 500/-. He has also been convicted under certain provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 but the conviction and sentence on that account are not challenged at the time of hearing of this appeal as the appellant has already served out the substantive sentences of imprisonment under the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.2. So far as conviction of the appellant under Section 20(b)(i) of the Act is concerned, that is challenged on the ground of non-compliance with the provisions of Sections 42, 50 and 57 of the Act. A scrutiny of the evidence on record shows that these statutory provisions have been fully complied with. The information received by Sub-Ins...

Reported in: 2002ACJ439

Usha Shukla, J.1. Vll Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal awarded Rs. 50,000 as compensation for the death of Vijay Kumar in an automobile accident on 20.2.1996. His parents have filed this appeal against that award, claiming enhancement of compensation.2. Learned counsel for the appellants argued that the deceased was aged about 15 years and was studying in class VII. He was a meritorious student having bright prospects. The Tribunal limited the compensation to Rs. 50,000 which was awarded by way of interim compensation. This was highly unjustified and inadequate.3. Having heard the counsel for both sides and having perused the record, we are of the view that the appeal should be allowed. Although the deceased was not an earning member, yet following the guidelines given under the Second Schedule to Section 163A of the Motor Vehicles Act, we would take his notional income to be Rs. 15,000 per annum. And considering the age of the claimant and other imponderables, the proper multiplier in ...
