Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal regarding compensation under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, where the appellant sought enhancement of compensation for injuries sustained in a road accident. The Court emphasized the need to consider future medical expenses and the impact of disability on quality of life when determining compensation. The Court upheld the High Court's enhancement of compensation by Rs.40,000, recognizing the inadequacy of the initial award by the Tribunal.
