Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the disallowance of US$125,348.01 awarded as 'Special Damages' by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, which was upheld by the Rajasthan High Court. The Court emphasized the need for a comprehensive assessment of damages in personal injury claims under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and clarified that the claimant's right to compensation must be evaluated based on actual expenses incurred and future losses. The appeal was partly allowed, modifying the High Court's decision regarding the disallowed damages.
