J.C. Kapoor And Anr. vs Delhi Cloth And General Mills Ltd. And ... on 3 November, 1987
In J.C. Kapoor and Anr. v. Delhi Cloth and General Mills Ltd. and Ors. 1988 (2) ACJ 1096 I had considered all aspects of the proper and just compensation in cases where the victims of the accident are very young children. In that case also the victim was also an 8 year old child and I had awarded Rs. 20,000/- as the compensation. Apart from the factor of mental pain and agony casual to the family, the future prospects of the child's development and eventually support to the family are to be necessarily considered while deciding the amount of compensation.
