The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) which awarded compensation to the appellant for injuries sustained in a car accident caused by the negligent driving of the first respondent. The MACT found the first respondent, the car owner, and the insurance company jointly and severally liable, awarding a total of Rs.6,07,000/- with interest at 9%. The High Court's dismissal of the appellant's appeal for enhanced compensation was affirmed, as the compensation was settled with the consent of the parties, and no reliable evidence was presented to support the appellant's claim of higher income from her beauty parlour business.
