Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the appellants were entitled to enhanced compensation for a motor accident claim, noting discrepancies in the income assessment made by lower courts. The Court directed the Insurance Company to pay Rs. 9,00,000/- as full and final settlement of the claim within eight weeks. This decision was made considering the peculiar facts of the case and the willingness of the Insurance Company to settle the matter amicably.
