Soukat vs Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's reduction of the compensation amount in a motor vehicle accident case was procedurally incorrect and unknown to law. The Court restored the original award of Rs.3,70,500/- granted by the Tribunal, emphasizing that the claimant's appeal for enhancement should not have resulted in a reduction of the award. The Court mandated that the awarded amount, along with interest, be paid within three months.
