Raeesh Ahmad vs United India Insurance Ltd. & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reducing the compensation awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, which had determined the appellant's permanent disability at 30% based on a valid disability certificate. The Court found no medical evidence to suggest that the appellant's condition would improve, thus reinstating the Tribunal's total compensation of Rs.2,45,000. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the Tribunal's award was restored, affirming the principle that compensation should reflect the actual and permanent impact of injuries sustained in an accident.
