The Supreme Court of India has ordered the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) to pay ₹9.64 crore in compensation to the family of a non-resident Indian (NRI) who died in a 2009 accident. This ruling comes as a result of a legal battle that highlighted the inadequacy of a previous compensation amount set by the Telangana High Court at ₹5.75 crore. The Supreme Court's decision represents a substantial increase of approximately ₹4 crore over the earlier ruling. The case has drawn attention to the legal processes surrounding compensation for accident victims and the responsibilities of transport corporations.
