motor vehicles act, 1988 (59 of 1988) Section 166 – Multiplier – Based on age of deceased and not on age of the claimants – It may be true that an accident victim may leave a 90 year old mother as the only dependent – It is in such cases that one may possibly attempt to resurrect the principle raised in UPSRTC v. Trilok Chandra (1996) 4 SCC 362, but as on date, Munna Lal Jain v. Vipin Kumar Sharma, (2015-3)179 PLR 304 (SC), which is of a larger Bench, binds us.
