Dear Sir, A young unmarried MBA graudate working with a Pvt Company was run over by a car being driven by the owner of the car.The person died on the spot.The deceased 32 years age & was having dependent parents aged Mother aged 57years & 61 years.The deceased annual income was 5 lacs per annum & other incentives being rs 4 lacs+. . The lawyer fighting his case calculated the compensation as per Sarla Vaema Judgement deivered by Hon'ble Supreme Court like this
Annual income of deceased =rs 5+4= rs 9 lacs
Compensation payable to dependents=(9 lacs+ 50% of 9 lacs)*5*2/3= (13.5)*5*2/3=45 lacs
Compensation payable to dependents = rs 45 lacs
Here multiplier of 5 is taken on Age of 61 years as per sarla verma case.My query is,here the case is filed by Mother aged 57 years.
1-My query isMultiplier will be determined by taking the age of Mother as 57 years or taking age of father as 61 years?
2-The average age of family members in the family is more than 75 years (more than National average age of male/female of about 65/67 years).So,even if multiplier is determined on age of father ie 61 years,can the multiplier be increased (ie may be taken more than 5 )
3-have the lawyer rightly calculated the compensation here?
4-If there is other way of calculating the calculation too,which is better than this?kindly explain here Kindly throw some light on this issue. Warm Regards sarvesh
