Homemaker's Economic Contribution Valued at Semi-Skilled Wage Under MV Act | MP HC Enhances Compensation Beyond Unskilled Labour Benchmark : MP HC Gwalior

MP High Court at Gwalior ruled that a homemaker's economic contribution must be assessed at semi-skilled wage levels under the Minimum Wages Act, rejecting the tribunal's unskilled labour benchmark. The court enhanced compensation to Rs. 5.15 lakhs, setting a precedent for valuing unpaid domestic work in motor accident claims.
