DARSHAN SINGH, J.

1. The present appeal has been preferred by the appellants claimants against the award dated 16.08.2010, passed by learned Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Ropar (hereinafter called the "Tribunal"), whereby in the claim petition filed by the appellants-claimants under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (for short-the "Act") the appellants-claimants have been awarded compensation to the tune of Rs. 16,88,000/- on account of death of Vijay Kumar in a roadside accident which took place on 18.10.2009.

2. The present appeal has been preferred by the appellants-claimants for enhancement of award of compensation.

3. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the record of the case carefully.

4. Initiating the arguments, learned counsel for the appellants-claimants contended that the learned Tribunal has wrongly deducted 1/3rd of the income of the deceased towards his personal and living expenses, through he had four dependents. He further contended that no future prospects have been awarded towards the income of the deceased. Wr
