Ashvinbhai Jayantilal Modi vs Ramkaran Ramchandra Sharma & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning compensation for a motor vehicle accident under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to apply a multiplier of 13 based on the age of the parents rather than the deceased, as established in Sarla Verma & Ors. v. Delhi Transport Corporation & Anr. The Court affirmed the total compensation awarded at Rs.11,39,200/- after accounting for contributory negligence, thus dismissing the appellant's claim for enhancement.
