On the other hand, learned counsel for the claimants submits
' that the Tribunal has assessed the income of the deceased @ Rs. 7000/- p.m., which requires to be enhanced as the deceased on the date of the accident was undergoing a course approved by the Directorate General of Shipping, Ministry of Shipping, Government of India which on his completion would have got him good employment.
