    Summary The High Court at Calcutta dismissed National Insurance Co. Ltd.'s appeal and affirmed the trial court's judgment awarding ₹29,37,200 compensation to claimants for the fatal motor vehicle accident death of Megdoot Dhak. The court rejected the insurer's arguments that vehicle involvement was doubtful due to FIR delays and lack of vehicle number in the initial report, finding that eyewitness testimony and police investigation adequately established liability and that the compensation amount was justified based on the victim's salary and future prospects.
