Kanhsingh & Anr vs Tukaram & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the computation of compensation under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, requires accurate assessment of the deceased's income, which was incorrectly calculated by the lower courts. The Court determined the monthly income of the deceased to be Rs. 15,155/- instead of Rs. 11,146/-, considering his age and potential for salary increase. The Court upheld the High Court's enhancement of compensation by Rs. 2,00,000/- but found further grounds for adjustment, leading to a revised compensation amount.
