Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to enhance the compensation awarded to the family of the deceased in a road accident case. The court found that the original compensation was inadequate given the circumstances of the case, including the deceased's age and employment status. The court emphasized the need for fair compensation to ensure justice for the victims' families.
