Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of contributory negligence in a motor vehicle accident case under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that both the jeep and truck drivers were equally negligent, leading to the collision. The Court also reviewed the compensation awarded by the Tribunal, affirming the calculations based on the deceased's age and income, ultimately confirming the compensation amounts awarded to the claimants.
