Urviben Chiragbhai Sheth vs Vijaybhai Shambhubhai Joranputra & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court which dismissed the appellant's appeal for enhancement of compensation awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT). The Court noted that the compensation had been settled with the consent of both parties, as recorded in the MACT's judgment, and emphasized that such consent cannot be contradicted by later affidavits. The Court reaffirmed the principle that the statements recorded in a judgment are conclusive and cannot be challenged outside the original court. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed, maintaining the compensation amount of Rs.6,07,000/- awarded by the MACT.
