The Punjab and Haryana High Court has nearly doubled the compensation amount awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) in Hisar to the parents of a 30-year-old man who was killed in a road accident nearly a decade ago. Justice Harkesh Manuja on Thursday increased the compensation from Rs 13,52,022 to Rs 24,16,800, marking an enhancement of Rs 10,64,778. The case relates to the death of Bhupender alias Vicky, who was killed in a motor vehicle accident on June 11, 2016. His parents had challenged the tribunal’s 2018 award, arguing that their son’s income was grossly underestimated and that several legal principles on compensation were wrongly applied. The tribunal had fixed the deceased’s monthly income at Rs 9,258, treating him as an unskilled worker. The appellants claimed he was a qualified electrician from ITI Hisar, earning Rs 50,000 per month. While no documentary proof of income was produced, Justice Manuja relied on Supreme Court guidelines to arrive at a more realistic figure. The court observed: “Considering the facts of the present case, it is …

Even as nearly 4,000 patients await justice from the Delhi High Court in the form of compensation from Johnson & Johnson (J&J) over faulty hip implants that severely impaired their health, the pharma giant had proposed a payout formula to the Government during a closed-door meeting over five years ago. That plan was shot down — it did not take into account the severity of a patient’s disability caused by the implant. This undisclosed episode in the “ASR implant scandal”, which has resonated in pharma markets across the world over the past decade, has been brought to light in The Johnson & Johnson Files: The Indian Secrets of a Global Giant (Juggernaut), authored by The Indian Express National Health Editor, Kaunain Sheriff M.
