/ $ " Hon'ble Supreme Court, the award of compensation granted by the learned Tribunal under the separate head of "loss of love and affection" cannot be sustained in law. Accordingly, the amount awarded by the Tribunal under the said head is liable to be deducted from the total compensation. 15.
A perusal of the record further reveals that no compensation is awarded under the head of loss of estate and compensation awarded under the head of loss of consortium is on the lower side, which warrants enhancement. 16.
In view of the above discussion, the present appeal is dismissed being devoid of any merit.
17.
Pending application (s) if any also stands disposed of.
