has discussed that the remuneration of the labour at that time was 25/- per day but that assessment is not based on any document. Even by applying the guess work, it can be presumed that a daily wager could earn 35/- per day at that time. I accept the submission of learned counsel for the appellant that the income of the deceased can be taken as 1000/- per month. As per the law settled by Hon'ble Apex Court in case of **_National Insurance Company Limited Vs. Pranay Sethi and others (supra),_** the claimants are entitled to 40% addition in his income towards loss of future prospects, keeping in view the age of deceased between 36 to 40 years. The deceased left behind 8 dependants, as such, 1/5<sup>th</sup> of his income is to be deducted towards his personal expenses as per the law settled by Hon'ble Apex Court in case of **_Sarla Verma and others Vs. Delhi Transport Corporation and Anr. (2009)6 SCC 121_** . The tribunal has not allowed any compensation under the conventional heads. Keeping in view the fact that the accident had taken place in the year 1990 and taking note of the price index prevailing at that time, claimants are entitled to a lump sum amount of 20,000/- under the heads, loss of estate, loss of consortium and funeral expenses.
