Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court of Karnataka inadequately assessed the appellant's claim for compensation following a road accident, where the appellant sustained significant injuries. The Court emphasized that future loss of earnings must be considered alongside current disability, referencing Ramesh Chandra vs. Randhir Singh (1990) 3 SCC 723. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the case for fresh consideration, highlighting the need for a comprehensive evaluation of the appellant's future earning capacity.
