M.D., TAMIL NADU STATE TRNASPORT CORPN. vs SUSHEELA BAI

The Supreme Court addressed two sets of Civil Appeals concerning compensation awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal. The Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation contended that the compensation was excessive, while the claimant sought higher compensation. The Court encouraged both parties to settle the dispute amicably, leading to an agreed memo of calculation. Ultimately, the Court directed the Corporation to pay Rs. 19,27,125 with 8% interest per annum to the claimants, to be executed within 45 days, without delving into the merits of the cases.
