Case History
Case Summary: Meena Devi v. United India Insurance Co. Ltd. (C.A. No. 4302/2002) On 25 July 2002, the Supreme Court heard the appeal and granted leave. The Court found the High Court's multiplier of 10 was inappropriate for calculating compensation and corrected it to 16, given the deceased's age of 31 years. With annual dependency quantum fixed at Rs. 17,280, the Court awarded Rs. 2,76,480 under this head, plus Rs. 2,000 (funeral expense), Rs. 5,000 (loss of consortium), and Rs. 2,500 (loss of estate), with 12% per annum interest. The appeal was disposed of accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
