Case History
Case Summary: Asha & Ors. v. United India Insurance Co. Ltd. Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on 3 September 2003. The appellants challenged the High Court's reduction of motor accident compensation from Rs. 10,67,076 to Rs. 8,79,176 following a 1996 fatal vehicle accident. The Court upheld the High Court's calculation using net salary (Rs. 6,642) rather than gross salary, rejecting arguments about deductions for LIC, society charges, and HBA. The Court clarified that the respondent insurance company must pay 50% of the High Court's awarded amount with interest, finding no grounds for interference.
