    Case Summary: FAO/2984/2008 - Jaswant Kaur v. Gurmej Singh The High Court of Punjab & Haryana allowed Jaswant Kaur's appeal and significantly enhanced her motor accident compensation from Rs. 1,28,100 to Rs. 13,79,000, finding the tribunal had underassessed her income, disability percentage, and pain-and-suffering damages. The court reassessed her monthly income at Rs. 10,000 (as a housewife running a training centre and embroidery shop), increased her functional disability from 25% to 50%, applied a multiplier of 13 instead of 10, and awarded Rs. 8 lakhs for pain and suffering along with additional heads including future medical expenses, attendant charges, and loss of amenities, with 9% interest from the claim petition date.
