casestatus.in Summary

SUMMARY: Basanti Lal v. New India Insurance Co. Ltd. (CA No. 5272/2012) The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court's denial of interest on enhanced compensation. The Court held that the Single Judge had no justification for denying interest merely because the appeal remained pending for 16 years—such institutional delay could not penalize the appellants. New India Insurance was directed to pay 12% interest on the enhanced compensation amount from the claim petition filing date until actual payment, with the total amount due within two months.
