Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the reduction of compensation awarded by the High Court in a motor accident claim case. The original Tribunal had awarded Rs. 20,64,000/- based on the deceased's notional income and future prospects, but the High Court reduced it to Rs. 11,34,136/-. The Supreme Court reinstated the Tribunal's award, emphasizing the need for adequate compensation for the dependents of the deceased.
