SAVITA SHARMA vs U.O.I./CHANDIGARH ADMN. — C.A. No. 6441/2000

Summary: Savita Sharma v. U.O.I./Chandigarh Administration (C.A. 6441/2000) On 16 January 2007, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Savita Sharma and others in a motor accident compensation case. The Court set aside the High Court's order that had reduced the compensation multiplier from 11 to 8, thereby restoring the Motor Vehicles Tribunal's original award of Rs. 10,22,208/- with 12% interest to the claimants. The Court held that the Tribunal correctly applied multiplier 11 per the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 Schedule II for a 53-year-old deceased and found no compelling reason to deviate from statutory guidelines. No order as to costs was imposed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
