The respondent was the petitioner in Original Petition (MV) No 684 of 2013 on the files of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Pala. The respondent suffered serious injuries in a motor accident occurred on 06-02-2013. Tribunal awarded Rs 989350 under various heads as compensation. Dissatisfied with the quantum of compensation, respondent filed MACA No 2202 of 2016. In the MACA, this Court granted additional compensation of Rs 2018823. The limited ground on which this Revision Petition is preferred relates to grant of 50% enhancement towards future prospects for arriving at the notional income of the respondent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Observations <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Court placed reliance on the case of <em>National Insurance Company Ltd. v. Pranay Sethi,<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/1j5OYsr8\">(2017) 16 SCC 680<\/a>, wherein it was held that 40% of established income should be added towards future prospects in case the deceased was below 40 years. In <em>Magma General Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Nanu Ram, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/q59EbKvw\">(2018) 18 SCC 130<\/a>, the Supreme Court reduced the percentage of future prospects from 50% to 40%. With respect to the present facts and circumstances, Court said, <em>\u201cIn the absence of any proof that the respondent belonged to a salaried employment and the respondent being below the age of 40 years, he was entitled to count only 40% of his monthly income towards future prospects, in the light of the judgments of the Apex Court. Therefore, the notional monthly income of the respondent should have been taken as Rs 12600. But, this Court took Rs 13500 as the notional monthly income inclusive of future prospects, which obviously is an error. Therefore, the judgment in the MACA is liable to be reviewed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Accordingly, the compensation for permanent disability of the respondent is fixed at Rs 1814400.
