Jagdish vs Mohan

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, who suffered 90% permanent disability due to a motor accident, is entitled to enhanced compensation for loss of future prospects as established in National Insurance Company Limited v Pranay Sethi (2017) 13 SCALE 12. The Court found that the Tribunal's computation of compensation did not adequately account for the appellant's loss of future earnings and prospects, thus warranting an increase in the awarded amount. The Court upheld the principle that self-employed individuals are also entitled to compensation for loss of future prospects, leading to a modification of the compensation awarded by the High Court.
