Yadava Kumar vs Div.Mangr.,National Insurance Co.L.& ...

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Karnataka High Court's enhancement of compensation from Rs.52,000 to Rs.72,000 under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court emphasized the need to include compensation for loss of future earnings due to the appellant's significant disabilities (33% in the right upper limb and 20% total body disability) resulting from a road accident. The Court held that the failure to account for future earnings in the compensation calculation was an oversight, warranting a reevaluation of the compensation awarded under Section 163A of the Motor Vehicles Act.
