    Case Summary: FA/1541/2013 The High Court partially allowed the appeal by the heirs of Lalit Somani (deceased in a 2008 motor accident) and enhanced compensation from Rs.14,55,000 to Rs.21,31,000, reducing by 50% for contributory negligence to Rs.6,76,000 additional payment. The court upheld the tribunal's finding of 50% contributory negligence (deceased attempted unsafe overtaking at a turn) but ruled the tribunal erred by failing to include 40% future prospects and undercompensating consortium/funeral expenses, applying current Supreme Court precedents retroactively to pending appeals.
