B.T.KRISHNAPPA vs D.M.,UNITED INSURACE CO.LTD.

The Supreme Court set aside the Karnataka High Court's order enhancing compensation by only Rs.34,000 in a motor accident claim, holding that the High Court failed to adequately consider the appellant's case for compensation. The Court emphasized that future loss of earnings must be assessed based on reasonable expectancies, referencing the principle established in Ramesh Chandra vs. Randhir Singh (1990) 3 SCC 723. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh disposal, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of all relevant factors in determining compensation.
