Tribunal has granted the amount of 29,000/- as income loss to the family. Though the matter is of the year 2017 did not add any amount under the head of future loss of income, deducted one third as personal expences of the deceased. As far as multiplier is concerned there is no question of dispute. As far as the amount of pecuniary damages are concerned it is awarded Rs. 17000/- and the interest is granted at the rate as multiplier of seven. It is further submitted that the Tribunal has not granted any amount towards future loss of income of the deceased which should be granted in view of the decision in National Insurance Company Limited Vs. Pranay Sethi and Others, 2017 0 Supreme (SC) 1050 . It is further submitted that the amount granted under non-pecuniary damages are on the lower side and it should be as per the decision in Pranay Sethi (Supra). It is further submitted that the deceased had major children who are not dependent and his wife can be said to be the only person dependent on him, hence the deduction would be 1/2 and not 1/3. In this case the deceased was 54 years old of age and in light of the judgment of Sarla Verma and others Vs. Delhi Transport Corporation and Another, 2009 LawSuit (SC) 613, major children may not be considered to be dependent but they can be considered only legal representatives hence entitled to the income but for personal expences their number can not be counted and the wife will be the only member who will be considered for the deduction.
