Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in not considering future prospects while computing compensation under Section 168 of the Motor Vehicles Act. The Court emphasized that future prospects must be included in the calculation of loss of dependency to ensure just compensation. The appeal was allowed, and the case was remanded for recalculation of compensation, incorporating future prospects as established in National Insurance Company Ltd. Vs. Pranay Sethi.
