casestatus.in Summary

Summary: C.A. No. 004029-004030/2024 - Haresh Shantilal Avlani v. The New India Assurance Co. Ltd. The Supreme Court allowed both appeals, holding that the deceased's age—not the dependents' age—determines the multiplier for compensation calculation. The Court quashed the Bombay High Court's 2016 judgment reducing compensation from ₹20.7 lakh to ₹12.83 lakh and restored MACT's multiplier of 18. In the second appeal, the Court modified the judgment, replacing the multiplier from 13 to 17. Insurance companies must deposit balance amounts with revised calculations within six weeks.
