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, specifically referencing Section 163A. The Court established that the Tribunal and High Court failed to account for 'loss of future earnings' despite recognizing significant disabilities affecting the appellant's ability to work as a painter. The Court held that the compensation must include considerations for future earnings loss due to the established disabilities, thereby remanding the case for recalculation of compensation.
