Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed a challenge to an award of compensation in a motor accident case, focusing on the computation of the deceased's income. The insurance company argued that the award was based on an exorbitant and unconscionable income figure. The Court examined the evidence regarding the deceased's income and the principles for determining compensation, ultimately emphasizing the need for a reasonable and justified income assessment. The Court upheld the award, ruling that the computation was appropriate and not arbitrary.
