In Brief
This motor vehicle accident compensation case involved death and injury. The Court upheld the High Court's computation of the deceased's income, approving a 50% deduction for personal and living expenses in the foreign country where he maintained establishment. The widow, who suffered 25% permanent disability and single-handedly raised three minor children through agriculture, received 50% of compensation plus interest. The remaining 50% was divided equally among the three children. Interest at 12% p.a. was awarded from the date of claim petition filing until realization.",
