Kerala High Court Increases Accident Victim's Compensation to ₹53 Lakh
A young woman named Sumisha was in a bad car accident when she was a child.
The accident left her unable to move her arms and legs.
The court initially gave her money to help with her care, but it wasn't enough.
The court then decided to give her a much larger amount of money because of how badly she was hurt and because she doesn't have her parents anymore.
The court wants to make sure she has enough money to live on because of the accident, and how it has affected her life.
This money will help her with medical care and support her.
Kerala High Court increased compensation for a road accident victim.
The victim, Sumisha, was severely injured in an accident in 2006.
The court cited her disabilities and family circumstances as reasons for the increase.
Sumisha, now 26, was left fully disabled and unable to move.
The new compensation is ₹53 lakh, significantly higher than the original ₹11 lakh.
