    Case Summary: FA/545/2026 The Bombay High Court allowed Kanheyalal Laxmilal Jain's appeal for enhancement of motor accident compensation, increasing the award from Rs. 1,01,170 to Rs. 4,24,000 (additional Rs. 3,22,800). The court applied the Supreme Court's Pranay Sethi decision on future prospects and disability multipliers, recalculated loss of income at Rs. 3,20,000 instead of Rs. 27,000, enhanced medical expenses to Rs. 30,000, and increased conveyance and diet allowances. The court also rejected the tribunal's unjustified rejection of the government medical board's disability certificate and included the overlooked Rs. 10,000 loss of amenities award.
