Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of Ramesh, who sought enhancement of compensation for injuries sustained in a vehicular accident. The court noted that the High Court had previously increased the compensation amount to Rs. 14,82,000, but the appellant argued that the compensation was still inadequate given the severity of his injuries and loss of earning capacity. The court emphasized the need for just compensation in personal injury cases, particularly where significant long-term impacts on the claimant's life are involved.
