    Case Summary: FMA 41/2024 The High Court at Calcutta set aside the Motor Accident Tribunal's December 2019 judgment and allowed the appeal of legal heirs (widow and others) of Durga Prasad Sharma, who died in a motor accident on October 18, 2013. The court ruled that the deceased's age should be determined as 50 years (per post-mortem report) rather than 60 years as the tribunal assumed, resulting in a multiplier of 13 instead of 5. Consequently, the court directed National Insurance Company to pay an additional Rs. 13,80,404 with 6% interest from the claim date, totaling more than double the tribunal's original Rs. 6,00,540 award, to be paid within six weeks.
