Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed a claim under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, concerning compensation for injuries sustained in a road accident. The Tribunal found that the appellant suffered injuries due to the negligence of the Tempo driver but denied compensation for permanent disability, stating that the appellant had not established a claim for such disability. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, emphasizing the need for clear evidence of permanent disability and loss of future earnings, ultimately affirming the denial of the full compensation sought by the appellant.
