Allahabad HC say Subsequent ITRs Cannot Establish Pre-Accident Income in the case of claimant

Allahabad High Court partly allows a claimant's appeal for enhancement of motor accident compensation. While refusing to accept income of approximately ₹3 lakh per annum based on ITRs filed two years after the accident, the Court reassesses monthly income using the applicable minimum wage for an unskilled worker. It also restores functional disability to 70%, considering the claimant's below-knee amputation, and enhances compensation from ₹6.16 lakh to ₹12.74 lakh.
