LAXMIBAI vs KARNATAKA STATE RD. TRANS. CORPN.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's award, which found that the KSRTC bus was involved in the accident resulting in the appellant's injury. The Court emphasized that the Tribunal's findings were based on both oral and documentary evidence, and the High Court's reliance on technicalities was misplaced. The judgment and award of the Tribunal granting Rs. 53,500 in compensation was restored, allowing the appeal under the Motor Vehicles Act.
