13.But, the Tribunal committed a mistake in assessing the loss of love and affection, it awarded Rs.5,00,000/-. It is against settled procedure. The learned counsel for the appellant would rely upon the judgment of the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court passed in Meena and others Vs. H.Srinivasan and others, reported in 2022 (1) TNMAC 210 . Now, it is settled that on the head of loss of consortium only Rs.40,000/can be claimed as per the settled procedure of law in Pranaysithi's case. Now the claimants are 7 in numbers. The first petitioner is the wife. 2 to 5 are the children. 6 & 7 are the parents. They are entitled for Rs.40,000/each. Out of the five children one child, who is the fifth respondent herein died and his mother, who is the seventh respondent also died. So they were deleted as per the order of this Court in Memos, dated 30.10.2019 and 06.11.2019. The total number of claimants are 5. So it totals around Rs.2,00,000/- (Rs.40,000 x 5 = Rs.2,00,000/-. So in this way that amount is reduced. Recalculation is made as below. The award amount granted under other heads are remain unchanged.
