Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the enhancement of compensation awarded by the High Court in a motor accident case. The High Court had increased the compensation from Rs 20,11,000 to Rs 33,07,000 based on the deceased's income, which the appellants argued was undervalued. The court examined the evidence presented, including salary certificates, and upheld the High Court's decision to enhance the compensation, affirming the joint and several liabilities of the vehicle owner and insurer.
