Anjani Singh & Ors vs Salauddin & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of compensation in motor accident claims, emphasizing the need for a correct multiplier method under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court held that the Tribunal's deduction of 1/3rd for personal expenses was erroneous and instead applied a deduction of 1/4th, resulting in an enhanced total compensation of ₹3,70,200, with interest at 6% per annum. The judgment also referred the matter to a larger bench due to divergent opinions in previous rulings, ultimately favoring the appellants' claims for enhanced compensation.
