Sri Suresh Yallappa Patil vs The General Manager, K.S.R.T.C. And ...

The appellant challenged a High Court order that significantly reduced the compensation awarded for grievous injuries sustained in a road accident caused by a KSRTC bus. The case involves the assessment of just compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, after the appellant's right foot was crushed due to the rash and negligent driving of the respondent. The Supreme Court examined whether the High Court's reduction of the award from Rs. 1,40,000/- to Rs. 45,000/- was justified.
