Learned counsel for the appellant/claimant submits as though he has raised various grounds in this memo of appeal, however, he is not pressed on those grounds and is assailing the awards on the following grounds only :- i. that income of the deceased has wrongly been considered by the Tribunal as Rs. 3000/- per month; whereas it should have been Rs. 15,000 per month. ii. that no amount towards future prospect has been granted to the claimant. iii. that the amount awarded under the conventional heads and other heads also being on the lower side deserves to be enhanced suitably. In support of above contention, reliance has been placed on the decisions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matters of Smt. Sarla Verma and others VS. Delhi Transport Corporation and another, (2009) 6 SCC 121 and National Insurance Co. Ltd. Vs. Pranay Sethi, (2017) 16 SCC 680 . 5. In support of above contention, reliance has been placed on the decisions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matters of Smt. Sarla Verma and others VS. Delhi Transport Corporation and another, (2009) 6 SCC 121 and National Insurance Co. Ltd. Vs. Pranay Sethi, (2017) 16 SCC 680 . 5. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent/insurance company supports the impugned award and submits that the Tribunal considering all the relevant aspects of the matters has rightly awarded compensation which needs no interference by this Court. 6.

As regards income of the deceased, though the claimants have pleaded that the deceased was earning Rs. 15000 per month contractor and Councillor in Nagar Panchayat but no documentary evidence in support thereof has been adduced. Therefore, in these circumstances, in absence of any proof regarding income, the income of the deceased is considered as Rs. 5000/- per month for skilled labour as per minimum wages at the relevant time. Further, considering the age of the deceased between 25 to 30 years, the dependency, the nature of his job and the decisions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Sarla Verma and Pranay Sethi (supra), the claimants is held entitled for compensation in the following manner:- S. N. Heads Calculation (in rupees) 01. Income of the deceased @ Rs 5000 per month. (Rs. 5000X12) = Rs. 60000 per annum 02. 40 % of (i) above to be added towards future prospects. (Rs. 60000 + 24000) = Rs. 84,000/- 03. 1/3 deduction towards personal and living expenses of the deceased (Rs. 84000 - 28000) = Rs. 56000/- 04. Multiplier of 17 to be applied (Rs. 56000 x 17) = Rs. 952000/- 05. Towards loss of estate, loss of consortium and funeral expenses Rs. 70,000/- Total compensation Rs. 10,22,000 /- Since the Tribunal has already awarded Rs. 6,47,000/-, after deducting the same from the above amount, the claimants are held entitled for additional compensation of Rs. 3,75,000/- with interest @ 6% per annum from the date of application till realization.
