RAM GOPAL YADAV vs PARAMJEET KAUR

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's appeal for enhancement of compensation on the grounds of limitation was erroneous. The Court found that the appellant, who lost a leg in a 1999 accident, deserved a compensation enhancement from Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 5,00,000, considering the impact on his earning capacity and quality of life. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed the Insurance Company to pay the enhanced amount within two months, failing which interest at 10% per annum would accrue.
