Sri Krishna Vishweshwar Hede vs The General Manager, K.S.R.T.C

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in modifying the liability ratio of a motor accident case from 50:50 to 75:25 in favor of the appellant, without sufficient justification. The Court restored the Tribunal's original finding that both parties were equally liable for the accident, thereby upholding the compensation amount of Rs.1,16,127/- awarded by the Tribunal. The judgment emphasized the importance of maintaining the original liability assessment unless compelling reasons exist to alter it.
