Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined a case where a pedestrian suffered grievous injuries and amputation due to a rashly driven truck. The court analyzed the compensation awarded by the tribunal, which primarily covered medical expenses and treatment costs, but did not account for loss of income due to permanent disability. The court emphasized the importance of awarding adequate compensation for all aspects of injury, including loss of earning capacity. The judgment underscores the need for comprehensive assessment in motor accident claims.
