Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's award of Rs.1,36,547/- to the appellant was justified based on evidence of permanent disability and medical treatment following a motor vehicle accident. The Court found that the High Court erred in setting aside the Tribunal's decision, emphasizing that the absence of the SSP's office representative did not negate the appellant's claim. The Court reinstated the Tribunal's award, affirming the compensation amount and interest rate as reasonable under the Motor Vehicles Act.
