    Case Summary: MAC/1694/2023 The High Court of Chhattisgarh partially allowed an appeal by the dependents of Human Lal Verma, who died in a motor accident caused by rash and negligent driving. The court enhanced the compensation from Rs. 16,77,000 awarded by the lower tribunal to Rs. 25,45,000, finding the deceased's income should be assessed at Rs. 12,000 monthly (not Rs. 8,000) considering his occupation as a vegetable vendor, six dependents, and prevailing minimum wages. The court applied a multiplier of 15 and added consortium damages for the widow and minor children, directing the insurer to deposit the enhanced amount within 60 days with specified investment arrangements for minors.
