casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Lalita Mehta v. Ahamad Sherkhan The Supreme Court heard a Special Leave to Appeal petition from heirs of Suresh Mehta, who died in a truck accident. The High Court had awarded compensation of Rs. 2,65,000 with 9% interest, but the appellants challenged this as insufficient. The Supreme Court granted leave and modified the compensation to Rs. 4,90,000 with 9% interest, finding the High Court erred in deducting Rs. 21,000 annually for the deceased's personal expenses instead of the statutory one-third deduction under Motor Vehicles Act Section 163-A. The appeal was disposed of with the enhanced award. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
