Case History
Case Summary: Harbans Lal v. Jasdev Singh (C.A. 6547-6548/2012) The Supreme Court allowed the appellants' appeals against a High Court order that had insufficiently enhanced motor accident compensation awards. Two claimants suffered serious injuries (75% and 60% permanent disability respectively) in a 2006 accident caused by rash and negligent driving; the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal awarded them compensation, but the High Court merely added Rs. 10,000 across all heads without addressing applicable legal principles. The Supreme Court found this disposal unsatisfactory and set aside the High Court's judgments, remitting the matter for fresh consideration in accordance with established compensation guidelines.
