Akash Tr.Father & Legal Guardian vs National Insurance Co. Ltd

The Supreme Court modified the High Court's judgment in Miscellaneous Appeal No.2942/2008, enhancing the compensation for a minor child who lost both legs in a motor vehicle accident from Rs.4,77,000 to Rs.8,00,000 with interest at 6% per annum. The Court found that the compensation awarded by the High Court was inadequate given the circumstances of the case. The decision emphasizes the need for just compensation in personal injury claims arising from motor accidents.
