National Insurance Company Ltd. vs Satish Kumar Verma

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to include a fellowship component in the computation of loss of dependency in a motor accident claim. The court found that the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal had erred by excluding the fellowship amount, which was substantiated by an Annual Income Certificate from IIT Roorkee. Consequently, the appeal by National Insurance Company Limited was dismissed, affirming the High Court's findings.
