13.On the point of quantum of compensation, we have perused the evidence of R.W.4, who is the Chief Welfare Officer of the Trichy Divisional Railways, through whom Ex.P.5 and Ex.X.1 to Ex.X.3 were marked to show the last pay certificate of the deceased Sethurajan. As per the Service Register (Ex.X.3), the date of birth of the deceased is 30.03.1973; the date of appointment is 05.05.2006; the date of accident of the deceased is 18.09.2011 and on the date of the accident, he has completed 37 years and hence, as per the Sarala Verma case , multiplier 15 has to be adopted. Since the deceased was a Kalasi in the Southern Railway, which is a permanent job and the age was 37 years, future prospects of 50% has to be added as per the Pranay Sethi case . In view of two persons being the dependents 1/3rd has to be deducted and as per the salary certificate, gross salary of Rs.16,556/- that was received by him immediately a month before the accident and hence, the loss of income of the deceased at Rs.29,800,80/- [Rs.16,556 x 12 x 15]; Rs.15,000/towards funeral expenses; Rs.15,000/- towards loss of estate; and Rs. 40,000/- towards loss of consortium for the wife awarded by the Tribunal is just and reasonable. However, loss of love and affection for the mother was not granted by the Tribunal and hence, we are inclined to grant Rs. 40,000/- towards loss of love and affection for the mother and Rs.
