casestatus.in Summary
In motor accident compensation cases, appellate courts — including the Supreme Court in exercise of jurisdiction under Article 136 — possess wide power to enhance compensation awarded by the Tribunal or High Court where the quantum is found inadequate in the peculiar facts and circumstances. As analysed on casestatus.in, the just and reasonable compensation standard under the Motor Vehicles Act is not confined by intermediate appellate determinations.
