Case History
Case Summary: Laxmibai v. Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation The Supreme Court allowed Laxmibai's appeal and restored the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's award of Rs. 53,500 with 9% interest for eye injuries sustained in a KSRTC bus accident on 26.2.1989. The Court found the Tribunal's findings supported by oral and documentary evidence (including hospital records and independent witness testimony) and held the High Court erred by reversing the award on technical grounds while the respondent withheld logsheets and control charts that could have contested the bus's involvement.
