Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined an appeal by a claimant seeking enhancement of compensation awarded for injuries sustained in a motor accident. The Tribunal had found the accident to be proven and the negligence to be of the truck driver, with the insurance policy covering the vehicle. The Tribunal assessed the disability at 45%, though the claimant claimed 90%, referencing the Employees’ Compensation Act, 1923. The Court upheld the Tribunal's findings and dismissed the appeal, affirming the award and the liability of the insurance company.
