Dinesh Singh vs Bajaj Allianz Genl.Insurance Co.Ltd ...

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the Karnataka High Court's judgment reducing the compensation awarded to the appellant for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. The Court emphasized the need for proper appreciation of evidence in determining compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, particularly under Section 166. The Court held that the High Court's reduction of compensation from Rs.30,60,160/- to Rs.6,32,000/- was unjustified and ordered a reassessment of the compensation due to the significant impact of the appellant's permanent disability on his future prospects.
