Tejinder Singh Gujral vs Inderjit Singh & Anr

The Supreme Court held that under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the claimant is entitled to compensation for permanent disability resulting from a vehicular accident. The Court found that the High Court erred in not adequately considering the claimant's future loss of income due to the necessity of hiring a driver, thereby warranting an enhancement of compensation. The Court ultimately increased the compensation amount and directed the insurance company to cover the full liability without limitation, emphasizing the need for fair compensation for the injured party.
