Renukadevi H. Etc. vs Bangalore Metropolitan Transport ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reduce the compensation awarded by the tribunal by 50% due to contributory negligence on the part of the appellant, who was involved in an accident with a BMTC bus. The Court noted that both the tribunal and the High Court found the driver of the bus to be primarily negligent, but also acknowledged the appellant's negligence as she collided with the bus's rear wheel. The Court concluded that the High Court's findings were not perverse or arbitrary, thus affirming the reduction in compensation.
