SUMMARY The Supreme Court allowed the appeals filed by dependents of two victims (Narinder Kumar and Subhash Aggarwal) who died in a motor accident on 16 July 1992. The Court upheld the deductions made by lower courts from the victims' income but corrected the multipliers used in compensation calculation: applying multiplier 13 for Narinder Kumar (age 46) and multiplier 15 for Subhash Aggarwal (age 42) per the Motor Vehicles Act Schedule. The Court awarded interest at 9% per annum on the enhanced compensation from claim date to payment date, rejecting the High Court's refusal to award interest. Oriental Assurance Company was allowed two months to deposit the balance compensation amount. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
