BENGALURU: Observing that 'human life is not mathematics and it is something more complex', the Dharwad bench of the Karnataka HC has awarded a substantially higher compensation in a 16- year motor vehicle accident case, reckoning that the claimant girl had become 100% functionally disabled.
Allowing the appeal filed on behalf of the girl, Priyanka Pradeep Gavade, a resident of Belagavi, Justice P Krishna Bhat has said that she is entitled to a recomputed compensation of Rs 21.8 lakh against Rs 4.4 lakh awarded by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Belagavi, on September 16, 2010. tnn
