Administrator, B.S.R.T.C vs Ranjana Majhi & Ors

The Supreme Court held that under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the High Court erred in directing the appellant Corporation to pay the entire compensation amount awarded by the Tribunal, as the Superintendent of Police, who was also liable for 50% of the amount, did not appeal the Tribunal's decision. The Court emphasized that the High Court could not create a new liability for the appellant without a challenge from the Superintendent of Police. Consequently, the judgment of the High Court was set aside, reaffirming the Tribunal's original direction regarding shared liability.
