Supreme Court Overturns HC: JCB Operator's Family Gets ₹60 Lakh, Not ₹9 Lakh

• A JCB operator died in a 2018 road accident in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, leaving behind his wife and young daughter.
• The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) initially awarded ₹52 lakh in compensation.
• The Madhya Pradesh High Court drastically reduced the compensation to ₹9 lakh, which was challenged by the family.
• The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision, stating it was wrong to disregard concrete evidence of the deceased's income.
• The apex court ordered the family to be paid ₹60 lakh, rectifying the incorrect assessment of income and needs.
