Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding compensation for the death of the deceased in a vehicular accident, where the High Court modified the Tribunal's award. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to reduce the future income rise to 50% and to apply a multiplier of 18, referencing the precedent set in Sarla Verma v. Delhi Transport Corporation. The final compensation was determined to be Rs.10,72,360, including amounts for loss of estate and love and affection, along with funeral expenses.
