Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's decision affirming the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's compensation award of Rs. 14,93,700 under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court found that the Tribunal correctly determined the negligence of the Jeep driver, leading to the death of Sajjan Singh Shekhawat, and dismissed the appeals by the Insurance Company regarding liability. The judgment reinforced the principle that compensation should be just and adequate, reflecting the loss suffered by the claimants.
