Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal regarding the adequacy of compensation awarded to the appellant in a motor accident case resulting in the amputation of his left leg. The High Court had enhanced the compensation from Rs. 4,08,850 to Rs. 5,10,350, but the appellant contended that this amount was still inadequate given the severity of his injuries and loss of income. The court considered the arguments presented and the evidence regarding the appellant's permanent disability and future earnings.
