Chinnama George & Ors vs N.K. Raju & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the compensation awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, affirming that the insurer is obligated to satisfy judgments against the insured for third-party risks as per Section 149. The Court found no valid grounds for the appeal filed by the bus owner, N.K. Raju, as he did not demonstrate how he was aggrieved by the Tribunal's decision. The Court reinstated the compensation amount of Rs.3,78,000/- with interest, rejecting the High Court's reduction.
