It has also held that there was contributory negligence on the part of the deceased and accordingly, reduced 1/3rd compensation. Hence, this appeal. 4. Shri H.D.Patil, for claimants submitted that the Tribunal has erred in considering the earning capacity of the deceased as Rs.6,500/- per month. He further submitted that Tribunal, without any evidence on record has attributed contributory negligence to the deceased and the same is unsustainable in law. 5. Shri Shivakumar S. Badawadagi, for NWKRTC argued opposing the appeal. 6. Undisputed facts of the case are, Shivappa died in the road traffic accident which occurred on 26.08.2013. He was aged 19 years. Liability is admitted by the Corporation and it has satisfied the award passed by the Tribunal. 7. While computing the loss of dependency, Tribunal has considered the notionalincome of deceased as Rs.6,500/- per month. In the absence of any evidence, this Court has considered the notionalincome of an able bodied person in the year 2103, as Rs.7,000/- per month. An amount equivalent to 40% of the earning capacity ( i.e., Rs.2,800/-) will have to be added as future prospects. Thus, the earning capacity works out to Rs.9,800/- per month. The deceased was a bachelor. Therefore, 50% will have to be deducted from his earnings. Claimant was aged 19 years and therefore, the applicable multiplier is 18. Claimants 1 and 2 are parents. They shall be entitled for filial consortium of Rs.40,000/- each. Third claimant is brother of deceased and he shall also be entitled for Rs.40,000/- towards consortium. In addition, claimants shall be entitled to Rs.30,000/- under conventional heads. 8. Claimant was aged 19 years and therefore, the applicable multiplier is 18. Claimants 1 and 2 are parents. They shall be entitled for filial consortium of Rs.40,000/- each. Third claimant is brother of deceased and he shall also be entitled for Rs.40,000/- towards consortium. In addition, claimants shall be entitled to Rs.30,000/- under conventional heads. 8. So far as contributory negligence is concerned, records disclose that no evidence was let in on behalf of the Corporation. Learned advocate for the claimants is also right in his submission that no issue has been framed on that aspect. Therefore, Tribunalis not right in attributing 1/3rd contributory negligence on the deceased. 9. Hence, compensation is recomputed as follows: Sl. No. Heads Amount 1 Loss of dependency (7,000 + 40% = 9,800 minus 50%) 4,900 x 12 x 18 Rs.10,58,400/- 2 Loss of filial consortium to claimants 1 and 2 parents (40,000X2 Rs.80,000/- 3 Loss of consortium to the third claimant Rs.40,000/- 4 Conventional heads Rs.30,000/- Total Rs.12,08,400/- Less: awarded by the Tribunal 6,18,000/- Total enhanced compensation Rs.5,90,400/- 10.
