case, the accident has taken in the year 2015. Therefore, this Court is inclined to take the notional income of the deceased persons at Rs.6,500/-. The deceased persons were self employed and therefore, the tribunal was not right in adding 50% towards future prospects. Therefore, this Court is inclined to add 40% towards future prospects. When 40% is added to Rs.6,500/-, the monthly income would be at Rs.9,100/-. Admittedly, the deceased are bachelors and therefore, after deducting 50% from Rs.9,100/, the monthly income would be arrived at Rs.4,550/-. Both the deceased persons were aged 19 years and the correct multiplier is 18. Therefore, the loss of dependency is 4,550x18x12= Rs. 9,82,800/-. As rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the appellant, when there are 2 claimants, each of them would be entitled to Rs.40,000/- towards loss of love and affection. However, a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- has been awarded. Therefore, this Court is inclined to modify the award of Rs.1,00,000/- under the head of loss of love and affection to Rs.80,000/-. This Court does not find any reason to interfere in the quantum of award under the head of transport expenses and loss of estate.
