Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the compensation awarded under Section 4(A)(3)(A) of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923, to the appellants who suffered injuries in a lorry accident. The Court found that the evidence presented, including medical certificates and testimonies, sufficiently established the claimants' injuries and loss of remuneration. The Court directed the insurer to pay the compensation amount with interest, affirming the lower court's decision and dismissing the insurer's appeal.
