2. According to the appellant, the Tribunal has misread the evidence led before it and has erroneously considered the income of the deceased who was 63 years of age to be Rs.4,500/- per month. Unfortunately, the Tribunal did not deduct any amount for personal expenses of the deceased on the ground that the deceased was not dependent on any of his sons. It is submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that if it is done, the judgment of the Apex Court in Smt. Manjuri Bera Vs. Oriental Insurance Company, Limited, AIR 2007 SC 1474 would be applicable. He does not dispute the grant of multiplier but disputes the amount of Rs.70,000/- granted for non-pecuniary damages.
