Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's affirmation of the Tribunal's award of Rs. 2,00,000 as compensation to the appellants under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, emphasizing that the award was neither improper nor illegal. The Court noted that the accident was caused by the negligent driving of the truck driver, and the appellants were entitled to compensation for the loss of the deceased, who was the primary breadwinner. The Court dismissed the appeal for enhancement of compensation, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
