(3.) Learned counsel for the appellants, after referring to para-17 of impugned award and relying upon Sebastiani Lakra and Ors Vs. National Insurance Company Ltd and Anr, reported in AIR 2018 SC 5034, submits that learned Tribunal has wrongly deducted amount of family pension from monthly salary of deceased. Further, after referring to para-19 of impugned award, it is urged that Tribunal has wrongly held that appellants No.5 and 6 were not dependent on deceased as they are major. Further, it is also urged that Tribunal has not awarded any consortium to appellants No.2 to 7. On above grounds, it is urged that compensation awarded by the Tribunal be suitably enhanced.
