Learned Counsel for the appellant submits that the Tribunal has committed error in not taking a income of the deceased as Rs. 1,500/-. . 5. Learned Counsel for the appellant submits that the Tribunal has committed error in not taking a income of the deceased as Rs. 1,500/-. The submission of learned Counsel for the respondent is that the deceased was not the main driver and Tribunal rightly assessed dependency. 6. The finding on Issue No. 1 was not challenged by the respondent either by filing the separate appeal or cross appeal. 7. Heard learned Counsel for the parties. 8. I am of the opinion, at the relevant time the income of the driver was not less then Rs. 1,500/ -, therefore, the dependency ought to have been taken Rs. 1,000/- and further under the head of the consortium and love and affection of Rs. 5,000/- each amount is less, therefore, the same is directed to Rs. 10,000/-each head. The award is modified as follows. For death (i) annual dependency X multiplier 1000 X 12 X 18 = 2,16,000/- (ii) Love and affection 10,000/- (iii) Consortium10,000/- (iv) Expenses of cremation 5,000/- Total award 2,41,000/- Thus, the award of the claim Tribunal is modified and compensation is enhanced as detailed out hereinabove. The petitioner will be entitled for interest @ Rs. 12% per month w.e.f. 12.05.1988 i.e. date of filing the petition. 9. This civil misc appeal is partly allowed as indicated above.
