As per case facts, three appeals were filed concerning compensation awards from a motor vehicular accident. One appeal was by the widow and two daughters of the deceased seeking enhanced
...compensation, and two others by injured claimants also seeking increased compensation. The claimants challenged the original awards, arguing that the amounts granted were insufficient under various heads, including loss of consortium, loss of estate, funeral expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, medical expenses, attendant charges, special diet, and transportation. The question arose whether the appellants were entitled to any additional compensation, and if the original awards should be modified according to established legal principles and precedents. Finally, the High Court partly allowed the appeals, modifying the awards and granting additional compensation to all appellants for various heads, concluding that the revised claims were reasonable and in accordance with law, and also setting a consistent interest rate for the additional amounts, while excluding interest for periods of delay in filing the appeals.
