Manasvi Jain vs Delhi Transport Cor.Ltd.& Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of calculating the net monthly income of a deceased in a motor accident claim under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court held that voluntary contributions made by the deceased towards General Provident Fund and other deductions should not be excluded from the salary while determining the compensation amount. The Court overturned the High Court's decision, thereby enhancing the compensation awarded to the appellant-claimant, emphasizing that the entire salary should be considered for calculating loss of dependency.
