Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's decision under Section 140 and Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, affirming the compensation awarded to the appellants for the death of their son in a road accident caused by negligent driving. The Court found that the appellants were entitled to compensation for loss of dependency and other damages despite the Insurance Company's claims regarding the deceased's potential earnings and the legality of the tractor's use. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling and the compensation amount awarded.
