Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the reduction of compensation awarded to the claimants in a motor accident case. The High Court had reduced the compensation from Rs. 12,85,000 to Rs. 6,10,000, which the claimants contested. The court reaffirmed the findings of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal regarding the negligence of the truck driver and the assessment of the deceased's income, ultimately upholding the Tribunal's decision on compensation.
