Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave and modified the compensation awarded to the claimants in a motor accident case, increasing the amounts payable to Smt. D. Premalatha (Rs. 2,00,000), Shri D. Damodar (Rs. 3,50,000), and Smt. S. Subhadra (Rs. 2,25,000), while maintaining the previous award for Kum. D. Shilpa (Rs. 35,000). The Court directed that the revised amounts be paid within four weeks, inclusive of interest. This decision emphasizes the Court's authority to reassess compensation in personal injury claims arising from accidents.
