Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the computation of compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, following a fatal accident. The court found that the High Court had erred in calculating the loss of income and in not awarding compensation for loss of love and affection. Consequently, the Supreme Court enhanced the compensation amount to reflect these considerations, ensuring a more equitable outcome for the appellants.
