PANKAJ JAIN, J. (Oral)

1. By way of instant order, I intend to dispose off the afore captioned two appeals directed against the award passed by the MACT, Karnal dated 18.02.2017.

2. The insurance company as well as claimants both are aggrieved of the findings recorded by the Tribunal on quantum of compensation payable to the claimants. Counsel for the insurance company submits that Jagpal Singh @ Jagga Ram was 50 years of age at the time of death. Tribunal ought to have awarded 25% future prospects instead of 30%. Mr. Jain further submits that out of three children who are claimants, two are major and married. Married
