    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana partly allowed the appeal filed by legal representatives of retired judge Narender Dev Bhatara, who suffered severe neurological and orthopedic injuries when hit by a Punjab Roadways bus in 2000. The court enhanced compensation from ₹10 lakh to ₹22 lakh, recognizing that while medical disability was 60%, the claimant's functional disability was effectively 100%, leaving him bed-ridden and dependent until his death in 2026. The enhancement included ₹9 lakh for future loss of earning capacity (based on potential legal practice), ₹2 lakh for loss of amenities and life expectancy, and ₹1 lakh for additional attendant charges, plus 7.5% interest from the claim petition date.
