Amount of compensation to be awarded cannot be in a straight jacket formula, rather it shall depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case and shall vary from person to person who has suffered, the Court noted.
The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a petition seeking quashing of the provision mandating tax on interest earned on compensation received by a road accident victim. A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and A S Bopanna dismissed the plea filed by an advocate saying he was not "personally aggrieved" in the matter.
Prayagraj: The courts/tribunals subordinate to the High Court shall take up only fresh urgent matters such as fresh bail, release, recording of evidence under section 164 of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and remand by way of video conferencing/virtual modes only from April 28, 2021, onwards.
This was stated in a letter dated April 26, 2021 issued by the Registrar General of Allahabad High Court, Ashish Garg, to all the district judges of district courts across the state. The letter provided new guidelines, which would be applicable from April 28 onwards to all the courts including tribunals in view of second wave of corona pandemic.
