SRI KIRSHAN VISHWESHWAR HEGDE vs THE GENERAL MANAGER, K.S.R.T.C.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court improperly modified the liability ratio in a motor accident case from 50:50 to 75:25 without sufficient justification. The Court restored the Tribunal's original finding that both parties were equally liable for the accident, thus reinstating the compensation amount of Rs.1,16,127/- awarded by the Tribunal. The judgment emphasized the importance of maintaining the original assessment of liability when adequately supported by evidence.
