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. The Court found that the Tribunal's calculation, although possibly erroneous, was justified in totality, and there was no basis for altering the compensation amount. The Court dismissed the appeals filed by the appellants and the Insurance Company, reinforcing the principle that compensation should reflect the just and proper assessment of damages caused by negligent driving.
