Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court determined that the appropriate multiplier for calculating compensation in personal injury cases is 16, leading to a total compensation of Rs.48,000, which is 50% of Rs.96,000. The Court also enhanced the compensation for pain from Rs.14,000 to Rs.25,000, and mandated interest at 9% per annum on the awarded amount. The appeal was disposed of with these directions.
