Preetha Krishnan & Ors. vs. The United India Ins. Co. Ltd. & Ors. (SC)

Motor Accident Claims–Split Multiplier–Use of–Permissibility–Split multiplier is not to be adopted as a matter of course, and is only to be used in exceptional circumstances with such circumstances being recorded–Sup-erannuation from service hardly qualifies as such an exceptional circumstance, which would justify the use of split multiplier–It is only a natural progression that a person who enters service must also exit at some point in time–The same cannot be taken as a negative circumstance against the deceased person or a person injured severely, leading to incapacitation or permanent disability.
