Applying this principle, court enhanced the compensation payable to the family of a stone crusher worker who died in a road accident in 2009.
This was substantially higher than the Rs 7,28,500 awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal and the Rs 9,20,500 awarded later by the high court.
He was 33 years old and was employed at Rajaram Stone Crusher.
His family's case was that he earned Rs 6,000 per month from the stone crusher company.
The high court later enhanced the compensation to Rs 9,20,500 with interest at seven per cent.
