Shriram General Insurance Co. Ltd vs Kavita on 28 November, 2024
- 14 - Misc. Appeal No.240 of 2017
law underscored in both Helen C. Rebello v. Maharashtra State
Road Transport Corporation, 1999 (1) SCC 90; and United India
Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Patricia Jean Mahajan, 2002 (2) T.A.C. 721
(SC). This Court is therefore of the considered opinion that the
Hereditary Commission receivable by the Claimants cannot be
said to have any nexus with the accident and would have been
receivable by the Claimants even otherwise on the death of the
victim. While it is no doubt true that the receipt of the Hereditary
Commission was accelerated due to the premature death of the
victim, even then the Commission cannot be said to have any
nexus with the accident."
