by the Tribunal. The Tribunal, taking note of the fact that the deceased was working as tiles contractor, has fixed the monthly income at Rs.9,000/and after adding 40% of the income towards future prospects, has fixed the monthly income at Rs.12,600/-. Since the deceased was a bachelor, the Tribunal has rightly deducted 50% of the amount towards personal and living expenses of the deceased and after deduction, has fixed the monthly income at Rs.6,300/-. The Tribunal, by applying the dictum laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Sarla Verma and others Vs. Delhi Transport Corporation and another reported in AIR 2009 SC 3104, has rightly applied multiplier 18 and arrived at Rs.13,60,800/- towards loss of dependency. The Tribunal has also granted Rs.80,000/- for loss of love and affection probably for the loss of consortium. The appellants/claimants are also entitled to get Rs.15,000/- for funeral expenses and Rs.15,000/- for loss of estate under the conventional heads. Considering the above, the compensation awarded by the Tribunal at Rs.14,71,800/- cannot be found fault with. Consequently, this Court concludes that the appeal is devoid of merits and the same is liable to be dismissed.
