(4) Leamedcounsel for the appellante u'rged thattheTribunal erred in assessing the income of the deceased; further contended that amount awarded tovrards love ahd affection Is on lower side. (5) Admittediy, deceased was aged 1& years who was prosecuting his studies and vras student of elass ^. No tegat evi^ tincome has been adBueed by th®appellants. From evidence it was elear that deceased wa^attending classes from 12.00 noon t6 4.30 pjro. and ithereafter devoting his timein study at home.; In view of this, it can be inferred that he was not an earning member. Learned Tribunal fbr assessing loss of ineome, took the notiQnal income In accordance with Schedule 2 of Section 163A of the Act, 1988 and after adjustihg 1/3rd towards his own expenditure, applying multiplier of 16, recorded a'finding and accordingly allowed compensation of Rs.1,60,000/- towards dependency. For love and affection an amount of Rs.2,QOO/-to each of tte appellant has been awarded. The findjng of facts recorded by the Tribunal does not appearto be perverseprillegai. (6) We are of the considered view that the award passed byj the Tribunal is just and reasonable and it does not call fdr any interfcrence :by thisCourt.In the result, the appeal being devoid of substance deserves to be dismissed and jsaccdrdinglydismissedmTfmme.No coste^ ^^^Btofc, .-:~~"=::=?
