Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed that in addition to the amount already paid by the Insurance Company to the claimant, a further sum of Rs. 50,000 shall be paid, which is to be deposited with the concerned MACT Court within four weeks. The Court emphasized the claimant's right to withdraw the amount, thereby reinforcing the principle of timely compensation in motor accident claims. The appeal was disposed of in favor of the claimant with this additional award.
