As per case facts, Manish, an 18-year-old student, sustained injuries in a motor vehicular accident, resulting in permanent disability. The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal awarded compensation, which the appellant considered ... insufficient. The appeal to the High Court sought enhancement, arguing the Tribunal erred by not applying the correct multiplier method, misjudging notional income, granting low pain and suffering, and omitting compensation for loss of marriage prospects and other essential heads. The question arose regarding the correct methodology for assessing just compensation in personal injury cases for a minor, including proper consideration of notional income, future prospects, and non-pecuniary damages. Finally, the High Court enhanced the total compensation significantly by establishing a notional monthly income, applying an appropriate multiplier, including future prospects, increasing pain and suffering, and awarding for loss of marriage prospects, transportation, special diet, attendant charges, future treatment expenses, and loss of amenities of life, with interest on the enhanced amount.
