(3.) On 07.01.2019, this Court had issued notice in the petition for Special Leave to Appeal against the impugned judgment and order dated 14.03.2018 'only to examine the non-award of future prospects while awarding compensation to the claimants keeping in view of the order passed by the Constitution Bench in the case of National Insurance Company Limited v. Pranay Sethi and Ors. - SLP (Civil) No. 25599 of 2014 and batch'.
