Santosh Devi vs National Insurance Co.Ltd.& Ors on 23 April, 2012
But an observation made by this Court, mainly to achieve uniformity and
consistency on a socio-economic issue, as contrasted from a legal
principle, though a precedent, can be, and in fact ought to be periodically
revisited, as observed in Santosh Devi (Supra). We may therefore, revisit
the practice of awarding compensation under conventional heads: loss of
consortium to the spouse, loss of love, care and guidance to children and
funeral expenses. It may be noted that the sum of Rs. 25,00/- to Rs.
10,000/- in those heads was fixed several decades ago and having regard
to inflation factor, the same needs to be increased.
