    Case Summary: Vipin Kumar v. M.D. HRTC & Others Court Decision: The High Court of Himachal Pradesh allowed the appeal and enhanced compensation from Rs. 2,47,000 to Rs. 3,73,800. The court recalculated future earnings loss using a 40% addition for future prospects (per Pranay Sethi guidelines) and awarded Rs. 50,000 for loss of amenities of life, which the tribunal had omitted. Key Reasoning: The appellant sustained 50% permanent disability (ankle and upper limb injuries) in an HRTC bus accident in 2011. The court found the tribunal correctly assessed income at Rs. 5,000/month but erred by not adding 40% for future prospects (as appellant was 32 years old and self-employed) and by not awarding loss-of-amenities compensation. With proper multiplier application and comprehensive damage assessment, total compensation increased by Rs. 1,26,800.
