                           JUDGMENT

Radhakrishnan, J.

An amount of Rs. 10,000/- was awarded by the Tribunal as

compensation for loss of consortium. Considering the age of the

deceased, we are inclined to grant an additional amount of

Rs. 10,000/- as compensation for loss of consortium. No amount

was grated by the Tribunal for love and affection. Claimants are

the wife and 5 minor children. In such circumstances, an amount

of Rs. 20,000/- is granted for love and affection. Consequently,

the appellants are entitled to a total additional compensation of

Rs. 30,000/- ( Rupees thirty thousand) which would carry interest

at the rate of 7.5% from the date of petition till the date of

payment.
