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 providing reasons constituted a non-speaking order, warranting interference. The Court emphasized the need for a proper multiplier in calculating compensation, referencing the precedent set in Santosh Devi v. National Insurance Company Ltd. (2012) and Sarla Verma v. Delhi Transport Corporation. The Court restored the original compensation amount awarded by the Tribunal, thereby upholding the claimants' appeal.
