Orders
Summary: The High Court at Calcutta (Circuit Bench, Jalpaiguri) allowed the appeal by Tapasi Das and another against the trial court's judgment in a motor vehicle accident death compensation case. The appellants' family member died in a road accident caused by rash and negligent driving. While the trial court awarded Rs. 3,66,000, the High Court enhanced the compensation to Rs. 9,66,800 plus 6% interest from the filing date, finding that the trial court should have included future prospects (40%) in calculating notional income, granted filial consortium (Rs. 40,000 each), and awarded funeral expenses (Rs. 30,000). The insurance company was directed to deposit the amount within 8 weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
