The contention of the appellants is that the Tribunal had taken the minimum wages of Rs.3,500/- per month and deduction of 1/4th had been made towards personal expenses but the minimum wages of that year were much higher. It was urged that the multiplier was not correctly applied as the claimants were four in number. It was also contended that 15% should have been added towards increase in the future income and the appellants were also entitled to compensation for love and affection and were seeking increase in the funeral expenses and for loss of consortium.
