Das, learned counsel for claimant - Respondent No.1. 3.

Mr. Deo, learned counsel submits on behalf of the insurer - Appellant that the tribunal has committed illegality by taking the income of the deceased at Rs.300/- per day against the prevalent minimum wage rate. He thus disputes the quantum of compensation and according to him, the same needs to be reduced. 5. Upon hearing Mr. Das, learned counsel for the claimant Respondent No.1 and perusal of the impugned judgment reveals that, the case of the claimant is that the deceased was working as a mason and on the date of accident he was a bachelor aged about 25 years. Though the tribunal accepted him as a mason without disputing his age, but applied the multiplier considering the age of his mother, the claimant. This approach of the tribunal is against the settled principles of law and the age of the deceased has to be considered to decide the multiplier. Further, as per the notification in SRO No.150 dated 30th April, 2015 of Government of Odisha, the prescribed rate of minimum wage on the date of accident was Rs.200/- for unskilled labourer, Rs.220/- for semi-skilled, Rs.240/- for skilled labourer and Rs.260/-for highly skilled labourer. The date of accident being 10th May, 2015, the assessment of the tribunal with regard to income of the deceased is thus found with error and the same is corrected to Rs.200/- per day. 6.
