Prem Lal Anand vs Narendra Kumar

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the High Court's order regarding compensation in a motor accident claim under the Motor Vehicles Act. The Court held that the Tribunal's application of a multiplier of 9 for calculating compensation was erroneous and directed the application of a multiplier of 14 instead. The Court also upheld the finding of contributory negligence but emphasized that the compensation should reflect the correct multiplier, leading to an enhancement of the awarded amount.
