Motor Vehicles Act | Minimum Wage as Income Baseline & 40% Future Prospect Mandatory in Labourer Compensation : Chhattisgarh HC

Chhattisgarh High Court rules that minimum wage notifications must be used as the income baseline for labourers in motor accident compensation claims, and 40% future prospect must be added. The judgment enhances compensation from Rs. 4.18 lakh to Rs. 7.02 lakh, setting a precedent for fairer compensation calculations under tort law.
