Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's finding of no negligence on the part of the deceased was upheld, but the compensation was modified to Rs.3,25,000/- with interest at 6% per annum from the date of claim. The Court noted that the High Court had reduced the deduction for loss of dependency from Rs.1,500/- to Rs.1,000/- per month, and the appeal by the Corporation was dismissed. The judgment clarified the compensation amount to be paid within six weeks after adjusting previously deposited amounts.
