Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal concerning the reduction of compensation awarded by the High Court in a motor accident claim. The court found that the High Court had improperly scaled down the compensation amount without adequate justification. Consequently, the Supreme Court restored the original compensation awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, emphasizing the need for fair compensation to the victims' family.
