RAJESH KUMAR @ RAJU vs YUDHVIR SINGH

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding compensation for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court held that the assessment of disability at 30% was erroneous given the undisputed disability certificate indicating 60% disability. The Court emphasized that the provisions of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 should be considered for calculating compensation, leading to an increase in the awarded amount for loss of future income and general damages.
