casestatus.in Summary
In Motor Accident Claims Tribunal proceedings under the Motor Vehicles Act, the multiplier for computing compensation must be determined solely by the age of the deceased, and a High Court lacks justification to reduce a validly applied multiplier without proper basis. As analyzed on casestatus.in, deviation from the age-based multiplier selection under the structured formula constitutes a legal error warranting appellate correction.
