Pallavan Transport Corporation Ltd. vs M. Jagannathan

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the driver and conductor of the bus were negligent, leading to the claimant's injury. The Court noted that the High Court correctly found that the conductor's instruction to passengers to disembark while the bus was in motion contributed to the accident. The Court affirmed the compensation of Rs. 4,50,000 awarded to the claimant, rejecting the appellant's argument that the compensation was excessive and that the driver was not negligent under the circumstances.
