17. So far as the cross objection of the claimants in MAC No. 92/12 is concerned, this Court is of the opinion that there is sufficient force in the argument of the counsel for the claimants that the claimants would be entitled for compensation towards future prospects so also under conventional head. The Tribunal has assessed income of the deceased at Rs.15,000/- a month and Rs.1,80,000/- yearly on which the claimants would be entitled for 25% towards future prospects which comes to Rs.45,000/- making the yearly income at Rs.2,25,000/-. If 1/3rd of the said amount is deducted towards personal expenses, the amount left would be 1,50,000/- which if multiplied applying the multiplier of 14, the amount comes to Rs.21,00,000/-. It is ordered accordingly that the claimants would be entitled for Rs.21,00,000/- as loss of dependency. In addition, the claimants would also be entitled for Rs.70,000/- under conventional heads. Thus, the claimants in MAC No.92/12 shall be entitled for a total compensation of Rs.21,70,000/- in stead of Rs.18,00,000/- as awarded by the Tribunal. The enhanced amount shall also carry interest at the same rate as has been fixed by the Tribunal.
