Anita Devi & Ors vs Satyendra Narain Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the order of the Jharkhand High Court which had dismissed the appeal regarding compensation under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court found that the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (MACT) failed to adequately consider documents submitted to establish the deceased's income, leading to an unjust compensation amount. The matter was remitted to the MACT for a fresh determination of compensation based on the available evidence.
