    Case Summary: FAO 2001/2024 The High Court of Punjab and Haryana substantially enhanced motor accident compensation awarded to Sanjiv Kumar for serious head injuries. The court increased the total award from Rs. 5,54,017 to Rs. 16,44,100, finding the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal had grossly underestimated damages for a claimant who suffered neurosurgical intervention (skull bone removal), prolonged hospitalization, and facial disfigurement. The court reassessed compensation across multiple heads including loss of income, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and facial disfigurement, and raised the interest rate from 7% to 9% per annum. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
