    Case Summary: FAO/4382/2014 The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed the appellants' appeal against a Motor Accident Claims Tribunal award, increasing compensation from Rs. 7,44,520 to Rs. 13,17,600 for death caused by a motorcycle accident. The court set aside the tribunal's 30% contributory negligence finding against the deceased, holding that mere absence of a valid driving licence cannot establish negligence without nexus to the accident's occurrence. The court also enhanced the interest rate from 7.5% to 9% per annum and recalculated compensation using proper multipliers and conventional heads for funeral expenses, loss of estate, and loss of consortium.
