Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the Review Petition and granted leave in the Special Leave Petition, enhancing the compensation awarded to the claimant by an additional Rs. 2,00,000 due to the permanent disability caused by the negligent driving of the respondent. The Court considered the claimant's 80% disability, future income prospects, and the impact of the injury on his life, ultimately determining that the total compensation should be Rs. 4,00,000. The Insurance Company was ordered to pay this enhanced amount within six weeks.
