Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's reduction of compensation from Rs. 10,08,000 to Rs. 5,00,000 without adequate reasoning constituted a non-speaking order, warranting interference. The Court emphasized the importance of applying the correct multiplier in compensation calculations, referencing the formula established in Sarla Verma v. Delhi Transport Corporation (2009) and Santosh Devi v. National Insurance Company Ltd. (2012). The Court ultimately restored the original compensation amount awarded by the Tribunal, affirming the necessity for a proper multiplier based on the deceased's age and circumstances.
