casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Dayawanti Devi v. National Insurance Co. Ltd. Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the Patna High Court's judgment and restoring the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's award of Rs. 2,40,000 compensation (instead of the High Court's reduced amount of Rs. 1,70,560). Key Issue: The Court held the High Court erred in disallowing Dearness Allowance in calculating the deceased Assistant Teacher's income. The Court ruled that in Government service, Dearness Allowance is automatically attached to prescribed pay scales and requires no separate evidence. Directions: Insurance Company must pay the awarded compensation within four weeks; failure to do so attracts 9% interest from the date of demand until payment.
