D.SAMPATH vs UNITED INDIA INS.CO.LTD..

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in calculating the claimant's loss of income by considering only 50% disability instead of the assessed 75% disability as per the Disability Certificate. The Court emphasized that while assessing compensation, the calculation must have a reasonable nexus to the evidence presented. The Court modified the High Court's order, reinstating the 75% disability for loss of income calculation, thereby enhancing the compensation awarded to the claimant.
