Ramla vs National Insurance Co. Ltd

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's enhancement of compensation from Rs. 11,83,000 to Rs. 21,53,000 for the dependents of the deceased Ismail, who died in a motor accident. The Court found that the High Court's assessment of the deceased's income at Rs. 30,000 per month was justified based on the salary certificate from Al-Rawabi Food Centre, Doha. However, the Court modified the deduction for personal expenses from 2/3 to 40%, ultimately awarding a total compensation of Rs. 28,00,000 with interest at 8% per annum from the date of filing the claim petition.
