As per case facts, this appeal challenged a 2009 Motor Accident Claims Tribunal award, seeking enhanced compensation for the death of Baldev Singh in a 2006 motor accident. Appellants argued
...the compensation was too low, while respondents maintained its correctness. The question arose on how to properly assess compensation, including the deceased's age, income, personal expenses deduction, future prospects, and conventional heads like loss of estate and various consortiums, referencing Supreme Court precedents like Sarla Verma and Pranay Sethi. Finally, the High Court, applying Supreme Court rulings, found the Tribunal erred in several aspects: reassessing the deceased's age, increasing monthly income, modifying the personal expense deduction, and granting amounts for future prospects and conventional heads, including spousal, parental, and filial consortiums, thus enhancing the total compensation with 9 percent interest.
