As per case facts, the appellant sustained injuries in a motor vehicular accident and sought compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act. Dissatisfied with the compensation awarded by the Tribunal, the
...appellant appealed to the High Court for enhancement, contending the initial award was insufficient. The question arose regarding the appropriate quantum of compensation for injuries and permanent disability, considering pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages, loss of future earnings, and other relevant heads. Finally, the High Court, relying on Supreme Court precedents, reassessed the appellant's income and functional disability, significantly enhancing the compensation across various heads including future prospects, pain and suffering, and loss of amenities. The appeal was allowed, and the award was modified, granting interest on the enhanced amount.
