compensation under the head of pecuniary loss, has failed to add any amount towards future prospects. Similarly, the Tribunal has taken only the age of the mother of the deceased to fix the multiplier. Considering the facts and circumstance of this case, We are of the opinion that by applying multiplier 18 based on the age of the deceased who was aged 26 years at the time of accident and by adding 40% amount towards future prospects, the calculation could be made to arrive at a just and proper compensation under the head of pecuniary loss. Further, from a perusal of the pay slip-Ex.P.10, We find that the deceased Kimlin Anthony Duckworth was receiving a sum of Rs.17,270/- as monthly salary. Therefore, instead of Rs.14,015- fixed by the Tribunal, it would be appropriate to fix a sum of Rs.17,270/- as monthly income of the deceased Kimlin Anthony Duckworth. Accordingly, if a sum Rs.17,270/- is taken as monthly income and 40% amount is added towards future prospects, the total comes to Rs.24,178/- (17,270 + 6,908). Further, 10% amount has to be deducted towards income tax and if so deducted, the balance amount comes to Rs.21,760/- (24,178 – 2,417). Since the deceased was a bachelor at the time of accident, 50% amount has to be deducted towards personal expenses. If so deducted, the balance amount works out to Rs.10,880/- (21,760 – 10,880), which could be taken as monthly loss of contribution to the family. If multiplier 18 is applied, the total loss of income works out to Rs.23,50,080/- (10,880 x 12 x 18), which could be awarded as a just and proper compensation under the head of loss of income. Hence, the sum of Rs.10,93,092/- awarded by the Tribunal under the head of pecuniary loss is hereby modified and enhanced to Rs.23,50,080/-. That apart, the Tribunal has awarded only a sum of Rs.50,000/- for the loss of love and affection, which appears to be on the lower side. Hence, the same is hereby enhanced to Rs.1,00,000/- at the rate of Rs.50,000/- each for the mother and the father of the deceased. Similarly, as the sum of Rs.10,000/- awarded by the Tribunal for funeral expenses is on the lower side, the same is hereby enhanced to Rs.15,000/-. That apart, it is seen that the Tribunal has not awarded any amount for the loss of estate. Hence, a sum of Rs.15,000/- is hereby awarded for the loss of Estate. Thus, the total compensation amount of Rs.11,53,100/- awarded by the Tribunal is hereby modified and enhanced to Rs.24,80,080/- and the same is rounded off to Rs.24,80,100/-. The break up details of the modified/enhanced compensation amount are as follows_
