The Allahabad High Court has ruled that in the absence of income documentation, the minimum wage for unskilled labor must serve as the baseline for calculating compensation in motor accident claims. This sets a nationally relevant precedent for claimants from informal sectors, ensuring fairer outcomes for families of deceased earners with no formal records, while mandating structured payments with 7% interest to prevent delayed justice.

Punjab & Haryana HC enhances motor accident compensation to ₹31.56 lakh, mandating interest from the date of claim filing. The court standardizes income assessment under Pranay Sethi and Satinder Kaur principles, ensuring liberal evidence standards for claimants. This ruling reinforces the obligation of tribunals to award interest from filing date, impacting all future motor accident compensation claims in the jurisdiction.
