Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 regarding compensation for injuries sustained in a motor accident. The appellant, who suffered 90% permanent disability, challenged the nominal enhancement of compensation awarded by the High Court. The Court held that the assessment of compensation must consider the extent of disability and medical expenses incurred, ultimately enhancing the compensation amount awarded by the Tribunal.
