Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning compensation for loss of future earnings under the Motor Vehicles Act, specifically examining the calculation of notional income. The Court held that the High Court erred in reducing the compensation from Rs.4,53,600/- to Rs.67,500/- by miscalculating the appellant's monthly income and disregarding evidence of his actual earnings from running a poultry farm. The Court reinstated the Tribunal's award, emphasizing the importance of accurate assessment of loss of future earning capacity in personal injury claims.
