Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning compensation claims arising from a motor vehicle accident involving the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to disallow a portion of the special damages awarded by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, emphasizing the need for clear evidence to substantiate claims for damages. The Court affirmed the remaining part of the award, reinforcing the principles of liability and compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, particularly Sections 166 and 168, while dismissing the claimant's appeal for enhancement of the compensation amount.
