It seems to us that reasonable figures on conventional heads, namely, loss of estate, loss of consortium and funeral expenses should be Rs. 15,000/-, Rs. 40,000/- and Rs. 15,000/- respectively. The principle of revisiting the said heads is an acceptable principle. But the revisit should not be fact-centric or quantum-centric. We [2025:RJ-JP:37091] (5 of 6) [CMA-612/2020] think that it would be condign that the amount that we have quantified should be enhanced on percentage basis in every three years and the enhancement should be at the rate of 10% in a span of three years. We are 41 disposed to hold so because that will bring in consistency in respect of those heads." bl izdkj mDr fofu'p; ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk fnukad 31- 10-2017 dks ikfjr fd;k x;k gSA mlds i'pkr Sadhana Tomar & Ors.
