Andhra Pradesh HC raises road accident compensation to Rs 10.06 lakh for victim's family
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has enhanced compensation for a road accident victim's family from Rs 7.28 lakh to Rs 10.06 lakh.

The ruling underscores the judiciary's emphasis on fair and comprehensive compensation in motor accident cases.
