The Supreme Court has observed that major sons of the deceased who are married and earning can claim compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The bench comprising Justices AM Khanwilkar and Dinesh Maheshwari observed that the Tribunal has to consider the application led by such legal representatives irrespective of the fact whether the concerned legal representative was fully dependant on the deceased. The Tribunal cannot limit the claim towards conventional heads only, it held.
