Mobeen Begum And Ors vs Bhupesh Singh And Anr

The Supreme Court held that in motor accident compensation cases, the multiplier applied should reflect the deceased's age and income, emphasizing that the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's application of a multiplier of 15 was appropriate. The Court found that the High Court's reduction to a multiplier of 12 was improper and reinstated the original multiplier, resulting in an enhanced compensation amount. The appeal was allowed in part, directing the Tribunal to prepare an award applying the multiplier of 15, with no costs awarded.
