Orders
Summary The Calcutta High Court's Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri partially allowed Sadhana Roy's appeal against the trial court's judgment in a motor vehicle compensation case. While rejecting her challenge on the income calculation (Rs. 15,800 vs Rs. 15,958 being a minor difference), the court modified the judgment to grant 6% per annum interest on the compensation amount from the claim filing date (28.05.2019) onwards, holding that under Section 171 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, interest should ordinarily be awarded as beneficial legislation unless the claimant caused delays. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
