casestatus.in Summary

Summary of C.A. No. 006440/2000 - Santosh Rani v. Ranjit Singh Santosh Rani appealed the death of her 13-year-old son, Pankaj Bansal, who died in a motor accident on 6.10.1993 caused by Ranjit Singh's rash and negligent driving. The Tribunal found liability but awarded only Rs.50,000 as no-fault compensation, disbelieving the mother's income claims due to lack of corroboration. The High Court dismissed her appeal. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal on 11.04.2007, finding the award inadequate given the loss of a young life and future prospects, and increased compensation to Rs.2,50,000 with interest, payable jointly and severally by respondents.
