Sant Singh vs Sukhdev Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court held that under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the appellant is entitled to compensation for loss of future earnings, emphasizing the application of the multiplier method as per the Second Schedule. The Court found that the High Court's enhancement of compensation was insufficient and awarded a further increase, along with interest at 9%. The judgment reinforced that while the Second Schedule serves as a guideline, deviations may be warranted based on the specific facts of the case.
