Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning compensation claims under Section 22 of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923, where claimants sought compensation for injuries sustained during employment. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that determined a 100% loss of earning capacity, thereby awarding compensation and directing interest at 12% per annum from the date of the accident until realization. The Court emphasized the necessity of evaluating loss of earning capacity as per Sections 4 and 4-A of the Act, affirming the High Court's findings despite the insurer's challenge.
