https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279655 Interest on motor accident compensation under Section 171 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 is a matter of judicial discretion, not a fixed uniform rule. The Tribunal or Court must choose a reasonable rate on the facts of each case, considering the nature of injury, delay, award amount, and prevailing conditions. Section 34 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 and Section 4-A(3) of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 do not govern interest in motor accident claims, because they operate in different statutory fields. On enhanced compensation, interest may run from the date of the claim petition or from the date of the award, depending on the circumstances. en-us Wed, 31 Jul 2002 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 29 Mar 2019 17:49:07 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279655 Interest on motor accident compensation under Section 171 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 is a matter of judicial discretion, not a fixed uniform rule.
