Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the compensation awarded to the petitioners in a motor accident case was inadequate and increased it to Rs. 6 Lakhs, as the respondent insurance company did not object to this amount. The Court emphasized the importance of fair compensation for victims of accidents, aligning with the principles of justice and equity. The appeal was allowed with no order as to costs, and interest was to be awarded on the increased compensation amount.
