Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the High Court's decision to set aside the tribunal's award of compensation in a motor accident case, where the involvement of the vehicle was in doubt. The Court considered whether the tribunal's award should be upheld despite the High Court's suspicion of the vehicle's involvement. It ultimately upheld the award, emphasizing the importance of evidence in establishing liability and compensation in motor accident claims. The case highlights the Court's approach to assessing evidence and the scope of appellate review in motor accident compensation cases.
