As per case facts, a petitioner suffered grievous injuries in a motorcycle accident caused by a pickup vehicle. The Tribunal awarded compensation, but both the insurance company (second respondent) and
...the petitioner appealed; the company sought to reduce the award, and the petitioner sought enhancement. The question arose whether the Tribunal correctly assessed the functional disability and if the petitioner's lack of a driving license amounted to contributory negligence. Finally, the Court confirmed the pickup vehicle driver's negligence, stating a lack of driving license doesn't automatically imply contributory negligence. It re-assessed the petitioner's functional disability to a higher percentage, leading to an increased total compensation. The insurance company's appeal was dismissed, and the petitioner's appeal was partly allowed.
