Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court found that the High Court's attribution of negligence (60% to the Transport Corporation and 40% to the claimant) lacked adequate reasoning. The Court held that the matter should be reconsidered by the High Court to provide a reasoned order regarding the negligence assessment. Consequently, the impugned judgment was set aside and the case was remitted back to the High Court for fresh consideration.
