8.Keeping the submissions made on either side, We have carefully gone through the entire materials available on record. We find that as contended by the learned counsel for the appellants/claimants, the Tribunal while calculating the 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 25 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. If the sum of Rs.9,000/- is taken as monthly income of the deceased and 40% amount is added towards future prospects, the total comes to Rs.12,600/- (9,000 + 3,600). Since the deceased Dinesh Babu @ Thiyagu was a bachelor at the time of accident, 50% amount has to be deducted towards personal expenses and if so deducted, the balance amount would come to Rs.6,300/- (12,600 - 6,300). If the multiplier 18 is applied, then the total loss of income works out to Rs.13,60,800/- (6,300 x 12 x 18), which could be just and proper compensation for loss of income. Accordingly, a sum of Rs.8,10,000/- awarded by the Tribunal under the head of pecuniary loss is hereby modified and enhanced to Rs.13,60,800/-. That apart, it is seen that 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 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.8,70,000/- awarded by the Tribunal is hereby modified and enhanced to Rs.14,90,800/-. The break up details of the modified/enhanced compensation amount are as follows_
