KAUSHLYA DEVI vs KARAN ARORA .

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, affirming the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's award of Rs. 1,00,000 under Sections 166, 140, and 141 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court ruled that the driver, being a minor without a valid driving license, was not liable, and thus the insurer was not responsible for compensation. The Court found the awarded amount to be reasonable given the circumstances of the case, dismissing the appeal for a higher compensation.
