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