    Summary: The Chhattisgarh High Court partially allowed an appeal by parents seeking enhanced compensation for their 3-year-old daughter's death in a 2015 road accident. The court condoned the 1206-day delay in filing the appeal, citing the appellants' illiteracy and residence in a remote area, but barred them from claiming interest for the delay period. Applying the *Krishan Gopal v. Lala* precedent, the court enhanced the compensation from Rs. 2,50,000 to Rs. 5,00,000, directing the insurance company to deposit the additional Rs. 2,50,000 within 45 days with 8% interest from the original claim date.
