Orders
HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE S.R.BRAHMBHATT
Summary The Gujarat High Court partly allowed the insurance company's appeal, increasing the total compensation award from Rs. 5,85,500 to Rs. 7,45,300 by revising the calculation methodology. While upholding the findings of composite negligence (30% motorcycle driver, 70% unknown bus driver) and the insurance company's joint and several liability, the court recalculated compensation using minimum wages of Rs. 2,400 per month, a 40% income rise factor, and revised conventional heads based on Supreme Court principles in the Pranay Sethi case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
