Sanjay Verma vs Haryana Roadways

The Supreme Court held that the claimant is entitled to enhanced compensation for injuries sustained in a bus accident under the Motor Vehicles Act, specifically addressing the inadequacy of the High Court's award. The Court emphasized the need to consider future income prospects and appropriate multipliers in calculating loss of income, ultimately determining that the correct multiplier should be 18 instead of 15. The Court also found the compensation for future treatment and pain and suffering to be insufficient and remanded the case for recalculation of the total compensation amount.
