New India Assurance Co. Ltd vs Charlie And Anr on 29 March, 2005
29. Adverting to the second ground sought to be urged by the
learned counsel for the appellant that a deduction of one-third ought
to have been made towards the personal and living expenses of the
injured, I am afraid this contention is devoid of substance and cannot
be accepted. The reliance upon Charlie's case (supra) is also
misplaced. All that was held in the said case was that in a case where
the injured had suffered 100% disability, the logic applicable to a
MAC APP. No.562/2004 Page 28 of 32
deceased can, in appropriate cases, taking note of all relevant factors,
be reasonably applied.
