High Court ups compensation for father by over Rs 15 lakh in accidental death case

The High Court issued a judgment that raises the compensation payable to a father by over Rs 15 lakh following the accidental death of his son. The court’s decision modifies the earlier award, reflecting a reassessment of the loss suffered by the bereaved parent. Details of the accident were not disclosed, but the ruling underscores the judiciary’s role in ensuring adequate restitution in such cases.
