R.K. Malik & Anr vs Kiran Pal & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to enhance compensation under Section 163-A of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, for the families of children who died in a bus accident. The Court found that the original compensation awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal was inadequate and confirmed the High Court's order to increase the compensation by Rs. 75,000 and an additional Rs. 1,000 for certain cases. The Court emphasized the need for just and reasonable compensation for the dependents of the deceased children.
