Subulaxmi vs M.D. T.Nadu State Transp.Corp.& Anr

The Supreme Court analyzed the compensation awarded under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, in a case involving grievous injuries resulting from a bus accident. The Court held that the High Court erred in not granting compensation for permanent disability while enhancing the amount for future income and medical expenses. The Court emphasized that compensation for permanent disability and loss of future earning capacity should be considered separately, thereby allowing the claimant's appeal for further enhancement of compensation.
