<h1>Indian Supreme Court: Housewives Not 'Unemployed' for Motor Vehicles Act Compensation; Awards Rs. 6 Lakhs for Family's Loss.</h1> The Supreme Court of India ruled that housewives should not be considered unemployed under the Motor Vehicles Act for compensation purposes. The Court emphasized the invaluable services housewives provide, which cannot be equated with those of a housekeeper or servant. It criticized the lower courts for reducing compensation based on the notion that the deceased was non-earning.
