K. Unnikrishnan vs M/S. Magnum Mail Manag. Ser. ...

The Supreme Court held that under Section 173 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the High Court is required to provide reasons when modifying the award of a Tribunal. The Court found that the High Court failed to articulate the basis for enhancing the amount awarded, leading to a lack of transparency in its decision-making process. Consequently, the impugned judgment was set aside, and the matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration on merits.
