Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the reduction of compensation awarded to a worker who suffered a permanent disability in a work-related accident. The High Court had reduced the compensation based on a finding of 40% disability instead of 100%. The Court analyzed the evidence regarding the extent of disability and upheld the reduction, emphasizing the importance of accurate assessment of disability for compensation purposes.
