Per contra, learned counsel for the respondents supported the judgment of the Tribunal and submitted that the learned Tribunal has taken into consideration evidence adduced during inquiry and has awarded adequate compensation and calls for no interference. 6. After hearing the rival contentions, and going through the award as also record of the case, it is revealed that for the loss of consortium, love and affection and funeral expenses, consolidated sum of Rs.15,000/- has been awarded which appears to be on lower side and thus sum of Rs.15,000/- already awarded deserves to be taken for loss of consorrium only while additional sum of Rs.10,000/- deserves to be awarded for loss of love and affection & funeral expenses. 7. Accordingly, appeal of the appellants is partly allowed and the Award passed by the learned Tribunal is modified to the extent that the appellants shall get a sum of Rs.10,000/- by way of additional enhanced compensation from the date of appeal i.e. 3 12.8.99, with 6% interest to be paid within three months.
