ICICI LOMBARD GENERAL INSURANCE CO. LTD. vs AJAY KUMAR MOHANTY .

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's reduction of compensation under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act lacked adequate reasoning and failed to consider the evidence presented. The Court reinstated the Tribunal's award of Rs. 22,85,322/- for the claimant who suffered a disability due to a motor accident, emphasizing the need for a reasoned approach in determining compensation. The Court ultimately upheld the Tribunal's findings regarding the claimant's income and the assessment of disability, thereby restoring the original compensation amount.
