    Summary: The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) dismissed the appellants' appeal challenging inadequate compensation awarded in a motor vehicle accident death claim. The tribunal had awarded Rs. 4,70,270/- to the widow, minor son, and parents-in-law of Sudhakar, who died in a road accident on 21.03.2009, finding 50% contributory negligence on the deceased's part. The court upheld this decision, finding the compensation properly calculated based on documented evidence of income (Rs. 6,770/- monthly from salary and allied business activities) and applying the Sarla Verma formula for dependency calculation, rejecting the claimants' demand for Rs. 15,00,000/-.
