Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against a High Court judgment that reduced compensation awarded under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. The Court held that the claimant was entitled to a total compensation of Rs. 1,15,200 for future loss of income, affirming the High Court's decision to reduce the MACT's award and ordering the claimant to refund the excess amount with interest. The outcome confirmed the High Court's ruling, dismissing the claimant's appeal for enhancement of compensation.
