    Case Summary: COT/96/2025 Outcome: Appeal and cross-objection disposed; original trial court judgment modified. Claimants awarded Rs. 53,50,000 with 6% annual interest from 17-07-2017 until realization. Oriental Insurance Company must deposit funds within 8 weeks. Facts: A fatal motorcycle accident occurred on 18-03-2013 in Kharagpur when a tracker vehicle collided with the deceased's motorcycle. The deceased was the sole earning member supporting his wife and two minor children. Trial court awarded Rs. 54,28,000 in compensation. Both the insurance company (challenging award amount and route permit validity) and claimants (challenging interest calculation date) appealed. Key Holding: High Court upheld the trial court's findings regarding valid route permit and reasonable compensation principles, modifying only the general damages component from Rs. 1,65,000 to Rs. 77,000 (Rs. 44,000 consortium + Rs. 33,000 funeral/estate loss), resulting in total compensation of Rs. 53,50,000.
