Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the reduction of compensation awarded to the appellants by the Motor Vehicle Accidents Claims Tribunal. The High Court had reduced the compensation from Rs. 32,39,000 to Rs. 19,70,000, prompting the appellants to challenge this decision. The court examined the determination of quantum of compensation under various heads and ultimately upheld the Tribunal's award, restoring the original compensation amount.
