11. Here, it may be noted that in the case
on hand the deceased, Manish, was aged about 19
years and was working as cleaner. Therefore,
there is no need to determine the income of the
deceased Manish notionally, as is done by the
Apex Court and this Court in the above cited
decisions. As per the claim of the appellants-
claimants, the deceased was earning about
Rs.3,300/- per month by working as cleaner and
some reasonable amount by doing courier service,
but, they produce no documentary evidence to
substantiate the same. However, taking into
consideration the fact that the accident is of
the year 1994 and the deceased was working as
cleaner, the income of the deceased can be
reasonably assessed at Rs.3,000/- per month. The
deceased Manish was bachelor, and hence, as per
the ratio laid down by the Apex Court in the case
of "SARLA VERMA AND OTHERS VS. DELHI TRANSPORT
CORPORATION AND ANR.", (2009) 6 SCC 121, 1/2
amount is required to be deducted towards
personal expenses and not 2/3 as is done by the
Tribunal. Thus, on deducting ½ amount, the
monthly loss of income would come to Rs.1500/-.
