Syed Basheer Ahamed & Ors vs Mohd. Jameel & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal regarding compensation under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, where the High Court reduced the compensation from Rs.6,08,000/- to Rs.3,56,000/-. The Court held that the High Court erred in calculating the deceased's monthly income at Rs.4,000/- without considering additional evidence presented by the claimants. The Court reinstated the Tribunal's compensation amount, emphasizing the need to consider all relevant evidence in determining loss of dependency.
