Ramesh Singh & Anr vs Satbir Singh & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's enhancement of compensation under Section 163A of the Motor Vehicles Act, determining that the multiplier should be based on the age of the claimants rather than the deceased. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to apply a multiplier of 8, given the father's age of 55, and rejected the appellant's claim for a higher multiplier based on the deceased's age of 22. The Court also noted the inclusion of additional compensation for loss of love and affection, ultimately affirming the total compensation awarded.
