New India Assurance Co. Ltd vs Vinish Jain And Ors Etc Etc on 23 February, 2018
As far as FAO No.9564 of 2014 is concerned, counsel for the
appellant/Insurance Company cites New India Assurance Co. Ltd v. Vinish
Jain (SC) 2018(1) PLR 759 to contend that there would have to be a
deduction of 50%. Counsel for the claimants, however, points out that this
is a case where the deceased was a home maker and since her income was
only notional, there could be no deduction in view of the Division Bench
judgment of this Court in Paramjit Singh and another Versus Dilbagh
Singh alias Bagga and others, 2014(4) RCR (Civil) 895. Faced with this,
counsel for the Insurance Company points out that if deduction could not be
made, then by that same logic, future prospects could not be granted, and
has relied upon the decision of this Court in Manjit Singh and another
Versus Satish Kumar and others, FAO No.355 of 2017, decided on
14.11.2017.
