5. So far as the enhancement of compensation in MAC No. 1115/10 is concerned, deceased Kirti Pandey, aged about 35 years was working as Shiksha Karmi at the time of accident and the income assessed by the Tribunal based on the salary slip is Rs.4,218/- which for convenience sake is rounded up to Rs.4,200/-. In the light of the larger Bench decision of the Supreme Court in the case of National Insurance Company Limited Vs. Pranay Sethi and Ors. decided on 31st October, 2017, the claimants would be entitled for income of Rs.50% towards future prospects while computing the compensation. Likewise, the multiplier applied would be 16 and not 13 as assessed by the Tribunal. Similarly, since there were total 11 claimants before the Tribunal, the deductions made would also be 1/5th and not 1/3rd as has been assessed by the Tribunal towards personal expenses. Accepting Rs.4,200/- to be the monthly income of the deceased, if 50% of the said amount is added towards future prospects, the monthly income would come to Rs.6,300/- and the yearly income would be Rs.75,600/- of which if 1/5th is deducted towards personal expenses, the amount would be Rs.60,480. If the said amount is multiplied applying the multiplier of 16, the amount would come to Rs.9,67,680/-. It is ordered that the claimants shall be entitled for Rs.9,67,680/- towards loss of dependency. In the given facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the opinion that ends of justice would meet if an amount of Rs.32,320/- is awarded under the conventional head. Thus, the claimants in MAC No. 1115/10 shall be entitled for a total compensation of Rs.10,00,000/- in stead of Rs.2,31,836/- as awarded by the Tribunal.
