Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the issue of compensation awarded to the claimants in a motor accident case, specifically focusing on the non-award of future prospects. The court referred to the precedent set in the case of National Insurance Company Limited v. Pranay Sethi, emphasizing the need to consider future earnings in compensation calculations. The appeal was allowed, and the case was remanded for recalculation of compensation including future prospects.
