Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's decision, which apportioned 50% contributory negligence to the appellant-father and 50% to the tractor driver under Sections 279, 337, and 338 IPC. The Court confirmed the Tribunal's calculation of compensation for the appellants, including future loss of income due to permanent disability and medical expenses, while awarding interest at 6% per annum. The judgment affirmed the principles of negligence and compensation in motor accident claims, emphasizing the need for fair assessment of damages.
