Orders
The High Court at Calcutta modified the trial court's Motor Vehicles Act compensation award, increasing it from Rs. 8,50,000 to Rs. 11,00,000 for the dependents of Atul Chandra Roy, who died in a 2017 bus accident caused by rash and negligent driving. The court accepted that the victim earned Rs. 9,000/month (not the Rs. 6,000 assumed below) based on witness testimony and minimum wage standards, recalculating the dependency loss with appropriate multipliers and additional heads of compensation including funeral expenses and loss of consortium, with 6% interest from the claim filing date. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
