Heard Mr. G. Palani, learned counsel appearing for the appellant and Mr. C. Prabakaran, learned counsel appearing for the respondents. 3. Mr. G. Palani, learned counsel for the appellant would submit that there is no negligence on the part of the driver of the Transport Corporation, as two wheeler rider alone was responsible for the accident. He would rely upon RW1's evidence to come to the conclusion that the accident occurred because of the rider of the two wheeler, in which the deceased was travelling as a pillion rider. Therefore, he seeks to set aside the finding, regarding the negligence. Secondly, he would submit that the amount determined as monthly income of Rs. 5,850/- along with future prospectus is on the higher side and he seeks to reduce the monthly income determined by the Tribunal. 4. On the other hand, Mr. C. Prabakaran, learned counsel appearing for the respondents would rely upon the Judgment of the Apex Court reported in V. Mekala Vs. M. Malathi and Another, (2014) 3 ACC 549 : (2014) ACJ 1441 : (2014) AIRSCW 2973 : (2014) 6 JT 212 : (2014) 2 RCR(Civil) 880 : (2014) 5 SCALE 772 and seeks for enhancement of monthly income to Rs. 10,000/- He would further rely upon the Judgment of this Court reported in 2013 (2) TN MAC 846, United India Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Velumyil, wherein for the death of 19 years old, 1st Year B.E., Student, a sum of Rs. 15,000/- was taken as monthly income. 5. Heard the parties and perused the records. 6. As far as the negligence aspect is concerned, the Tribunal took into the evidence of P.W.2, eye witness and also rider of the two wheeler and filing of First Information Report against the driver of the appellant/Transport Corporation and the departmental proceedings initiated against the said driver, rightly came to the conclusion that the accident occurred due to the negligence on the part of the rider of the appellant/Transport Corporation and the said finding is based on the evidence. 7. As far as the quantum is concerned, the Tribunal took monthly income at Rs. 7. As far as the quantum is concerned, the Tribunal took monthly income at Rs. 4500/- p.m. as stipulated under the Minimum Wages Act and added 30% towards future prospects and determined as Rs. 5,850/- and the monthly income determined by the Tribunal is very low. 8. As rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the respondents, this Court determined the monthly income of B.E., student as Rs. 15,000/-. However, considering the difference between B.E., and M.C.A., student and the prospects of the both degrees, it is appropriate to determine the monthly income of the deceased at Rs. 6,500/- which is in consonance with the Judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Syed Sadiq etc. Vs. Divisional Manager, United India Ins. Company, (2014) 1 ACC 206 : AIR 2014 SC 1052 : (2014) AIR SCW 724 : (2014) 1 JT 569 : (2014) 1 RCR(Civil) 766 : (2014) 1 SCALE 377 : (2014) 2 SCC 735 , in which the Apex Court determined a sum of Rs. 6,500/- as monthly income for a vegetable vendor, who sustained injury in the accident occurred on 14.02.2008. Therefore, this Court is inclined to follow the determination made in the aforesaid judgment. Accordingly, a sum of Rs. 6,500/- is taken as monthly income and 50% is added towards future prospects at Rs. 9,750/- is determined as monthly income. Since the deceased was a spinster at the time of the accident, 50% is required to be deducted towards personal expenses and the loss of income would be Rs. 4,875/-, is as follows : "Rs. 6,500/- + 50% = Rs. 9,750/-50% = Rs. 4,875/-." The Tribunal was taking average age of father and mother of the deceased as 50 and 45 and applying right multiplier 13, the loss of income is determined as follows : "Rs. 6,500/- + 50% - 50% X 13 X 12 = Rs. 7,60,800/-." 9. The parents lost their daughter and that too at the time of marriageable age and she already obtained a primary degree and was undergoing the secondary degree. It is a great loss for the parents and cannot be compensated. The parents have suffered loss of love and affection and it cannot be estimated. However, the Tribunal awarded a sum of Rs. 50,000/- towards love and affection which is hereby confirmed. Rs. 10,000/- awarded towards transportation is also hereby confirmed. The Tribunal awarded Rs. It is a great loss for the parents and cannot be compensated. The parents have suffered loss of love and affection and it cannot be estimated.
