SHYAMVATI SHARMA vs KARAM SINGH .

The Supreme Court held that in calculating compensation for the death of Kuldeep Sharma, the principles established in Sarla Verma vs. Delhi Transport Corporation (2009) should be applied. The Court determined that the deceased's actual salary should be increased by 50% for future prospects, and a deduction of 25% should be made for personal expenses, given the number of dependents. The Court recalculated the compensation, applying a multiplier of 15 for the deceased's age, resulting in an enhanced compensation amount.
