Motor Accident Compensation | Filial & Parental Consortium Recognized Under MV Act : Chhattisgarh HC Enhances Award to ₹22.44 Lakh
Chhattisgarh High Court breaks new ground by explicitly recognizing filial consortium for a minor child and parental consortium for a mother in motor accident claims, enhancing compensation to ₹22.44 lakh. The ruling corrects future prospect miscalculations and awards 7.5% interest from the date of claim filing, setting a precedent for broader consortium claims under the Motor Vehicles Act.
