Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the reduction of compensation awarded to a grievously injured claimant whose leg was amputated due to a road accident caused by rash driving. The High Court had reduced the original compensation, and the issue was whether the reduction was justified. The Court emphasized the importance of proper assessment of damages in motor accident claims and upheld the original award, considering the severity of injuries and disability. The judgment underscores the need for fair compensation in personal injury cases involving permanent disability.
