Lalita @ Laila and Ors. v. Manohar Singh and Ors.

Rajasthan HC23 May 2023CMA/414/2004

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

The High Court established the court over five Claimants. The court held that while the deceased was not a dependent, the court recalculated the life policy share based on the standard of earning and loss of dependency, leading to a new assessment of life policy. The court also ordered the division of the share between the male and female claimants.

What did the court decide?

The High Court set aside the lower court's decree and remitted the matter for a fresh assessment of the insurance claim.
