Ashwani Kumar Mishra vs P. Muniam Babu And Ors on 8 April, 1999

21. By applying the ratio laid down in the above case, it is, therefore, apparent that the Court would be entitled resort to a rational guess work so as to ascertain the income of the deceased when no definite materials are available so as to establish the same. From a scrutiny of the testimony of PWs 4, 5 and 6 as well as the documents exhibited by the claimants, it can be reasonably assumed that the deceased was having a decent income at the time of his death in the year 2003. It is not in disute that the deceased Hamen Sarma was a registered class-I contractor under the Irrigation Department. The fact that he was living in a rented house in a metropolitan city like Guwahati strongly suggests that his income ought to be close to the amount claimed by the claimants. As such, I see no reason to doubt or disbelieve their statements.

National Insurance Co. Ltd. reported in (2012) 6 SCC 421. We may therefore, revisit the practice of awarding compensation under conventional heads: loss of consortium to the spouse, loss of love, care and guidance to children and funeral expenses. It may be noted that the sum of Rs. 2500 to Rs. 10,000 in those heads was fixed several decades go and having regard to inflation factor, the same needs to be increased.
