KANHSINGH vs TUKARAM

The Supreme Court upheld the enhancement of compensation under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, for the parents of a deceased in a motor accident case. The Court emphasized the need for proper income computation, stating that the deceased's monthly income should be considered as Rs. 15,155/- instead of Rs. 11,146/-, and referenced previous judgments including Vimal Kanwar & Ors. v. Kishore Dan & Ors. and Raghuvir Singh Matolya & Ors. v. Hari Singh Malviya & Ors. The appeal was partly allowed, resulting in an increased compensation amount.
