January 28th, 2010 - 9:50 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Jan 28 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Thursday suggested a pension scheme for victims of accidents who get compensation amount from the insurance companies and banks.
Senior advocate Arun Mohan, amicus curiae, proposed to the court that instead of paying a lump sum cash or fixed deposit in a bank, there should a scheme for a regular income.
Justice J.R. Midha asked the bank and insurance companies to formulate a recurring payment plan for motor accident claims.
