Uttaranchal Transport Corp.Ltd vs Vimla Devi & Ors

The Supreme Court modified the earlier judgment by deleting the line directing the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) to work out the entitlement on a specified basis. The Court established that the appropriate multiplier for calculating compensation in motor accident cases should be fixed at 10, with an interest rate of 6% per annum. This decision clarifies the parameters for determining compensation in such cases under the Motor Vehicles Act.
