towards loss of future prospects since the deceased was aged 57 years at the time of the accident and the same is confirmed by this Court. Since the deceased would have retired from Government service within six months from the date of the accident, the monthly income together with loss of future prospects at 15% will be Rs.31,389/- and for the period of six months it would amounts to Rs.1,88,334/-. Since the respondents/claimants who are the dependents of the deceased are four in number, after deducting 1/4 towards personal expenses of the deceased, the total income for six months period will work out to Rs.1,41,251/- and the same is now fixed by this Court. For the remaining period of eight years and six months the monthly income for the deceased is assessed by this Court at 50%, since he would have retired from service and therefore the monthly income of the deceased is reassessed by this Court at Rs.13,648/- and the loss of future prospects for the remaining period of 8 years and 6 months is assessed at the rate of 15% and the total amount is Rs.15,696/- per month. The notional income for the remaining period of 8 years and 6 months works out to Rs.1,88,352/-. The loss of dependency for six months i.e., till the deceased would have been in service is reassessed by this Court at Rs.1,41,251/- and the loss of dependency for 8 years and 6 months period after his retirement is reassessed by this Court at Rs.12,00,744/-. In all put together the loss of dependency is reassessed by this Court at Rs.13,41,995/- instead of Rs.25,42,509/- erroneously assessed by the Tribunal.
