PALRAJ vs DIV.CONTROLLER,NEKRTC

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the compensation awarded under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, where the Commissioner had determined the Appellant's disability at 85%. The Karnataka High Court modified this decision, reducing the disability percentage to 20% and consequently lowering the compensation amount from Rs.1,75,970 to Rs.41,404.80. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling, affirming that the Commissioner had erred in assessing the disability percentage and interest calculations, thus modifying the award accordingly.
