A. ROBERT vs THE UNITED INSURANCE CO. LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed the statutory liability of the Insurance Company under Section 110-A of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, in a case involving a minor claimant who suffered serious injuries in a motor vehicle accident. The Court upheld the Tribunal's finding of negligence against the insured driver and determined that the Insurance Company's maximum liability for compensation should be Rs.1,50,000. The Court ultimately ruled that the compensation awarded by the High Court was insufficient and warranted an increase, emphasizing the need for adequate compensation for the injuries sustained by the appellant.
