MANJUSRI RAHA & ORS ETC. vs B.L. GUPTA & ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 110A of the Motor Vehicles Act, the compensation for death in a bus accident must consider increments and pensionary benefits. The Court found that the Claims Tribunal and High Court failed to account for these factors, leading to an inadequate compensation award. Consequently, the Court enhanced the compensation awarded to Mrs. Raha from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 1,00,000, while dismissing Gupta's appeal against the liability for compensation.
