Supreme Court: Compensation for loss of consortium of Rs. 40,000/- can not be granted to each of the dependents separately but in toto

[Educator]

The notice in terms of the order dated 13.10.2020 was confined only to two aspects i.e. the sum for loss of love and affection being Rs. 50,000/- and for loss of consortium for Rs. 40,000/- could not have been granted to each of the three dependents separately but in toto and that would be the amount quantified. This was in terms of the judgment in National Insurance Company Ltd. v. Pranay
