HDFC ERGO GENERAL INSURANCE CO. LTD. vs MUKESH KUMAR

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a court can mandate the provision of a prosthetic limb for an injured claimant under the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. The court upheld the High Court's decision to modify the award, ensuring that the claimant receives a prosthetic limb with a lifetime warranty and that the insurance company is responsible for its maintenance and replacement. This ruling emphasizes the obligation of insurers to provide comprehensive support to claimants suffering permanent disabilities due to accidents.
