Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the compensation awarded for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court emphasized the need for just and reasonable compensation, affirming that the appellant's permanent disability of 30% was duly certified and should be considered in the compensation calculation. The Court ultimately held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's appeal was erroneous and directed the Insurance Company to pay enhanced compensation to the appellant.
