    Case Summary The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed the appellants' appeal seeking enhancement of motor accident compensation. The Tribunal had awarded Rs. 5,25,000 for the death of a 71-year-old man caused by rash and negligent driving. The court held that no enhancement for future prospects is admissible since the deceased was over 60 years of age, citing the Supreme Court's five-judge bench decision in National Insurance Co. Ltd vs Pranay Sethi, which restricts such additions only to persons aged 50-60 years. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
