Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the High Court's judgment which erroneously concluded that the appellant had lost vision in his left eye, instead of addressing the actual injury of a fractured leg. The Court found that the High Court had mixed up facts from different cases, leading to an incorrect assessment of compensation. The matter was remitted back to the High Court for fresh consideration in accordance with law, ensuring a proper evaluation of the appellant's claim for compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act.
