Tribunal is contrary to the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in National Insurance Co. Ltd. V/s. Pranay Sethi 1, because the Tribunal added 50% to the notional income of the deceased when in fact, the addition could have been only 40%. He secondly submitted that the award of 3,00,000/- towards ₹ future medical expenses is relatively high and must be scaled down appropriately. He thirdly submitted that the award of ₹ 3,00,000/- towards attendant fees is not proper because the claimant's mother is already awarded 2,52,600/- for staying with ₹ the claimant at home on leave without pay to attend to the claimant. He fourthly submitted that this is a case of overlapping and, therefore, compensation under one of the two heads must be deleted. He submitted that there was overlapping regarding loss of amenities & marriage prospects, where the Tribunal has awarded compensation of 4,00,000/- and towards loss of expectations in ₹ life, where the Tribunal has awarded compensation of ₹ 5,00,000/-. He finally submitted that the award of 3,00,000/- ₹ towards pain and suffering is also excessive. Mr. Pavithran submitted that the impugned award may be modified suitably for all these reasons.
