Sarla Verma & Ors vs Delhi Transport Corp.& Anr on 15 April, 2009
Considering the number of dependents i.e. widow, two children
and aged mother, who are claimants, deduction on the count of 'personal
expenses' ought to be made to the extent of 1/4th, instead of 1/3rd as done

on higher side. As per Smt.Sarla Verma vs. Delhi Transport Corporation
and anr., 2009(3) RCR (Civil) 77, the suitable multiplier to be applied is
'16'.

Ex.R3 is the copy of the policy, which is 'B' policy i.e.
comprehensive policy. Before considering the same, it is also pertinent to
make reference to definition of the term 'goods'. Section 2 (13) of the ibid
Act, defines 'goods' as includes livestock and anything (other than
equipment ordinarily used with the vehicle) carried in a vehicle except living
persons, but does not include luggage or personal effects carried in a motor
car or the personal luggage of a passenger travelling in the vehicle.
Therefore, considering the definition, the living person, as such, is not a
'goods', but if a dead person, is transported, becomes a 'cargo'. There is
also no prohibition to transport a dead body in a goods vehicle. As held in
Dhamayanthi's case (supra), there is no law that a dead body should always
be carry in an ambulance or mortuary van.
