Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal regarding the enhancement of compensation under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, following a severe accident resulting in 90% permanent disability for the appellant. The Court emphasized the need for adequate compensation reflecting the extent of injuries and loss of earning capacity, holding that the High Court's nominal enhancement was insufficient. The appeal was allowed, and the matter was remanded for recalculation of compensation based on the established disabilities and medical expenses.
