A.P.S.R.T.C. vs P. THIRUPAL REDDY — SLP(C) No. 9019/2004

Summary The Supreme Court granted special leave and allowed A.P.S.R.T.C.'s appeal against the High Court's enhancement of compensation awarded to an accident victim (pillion rider). The Court found the High Court erred by relying on Dr. Sudhakar Reddy's unexamined medical certificate showing 45% disability to enhance compensation from Rs. 34,552 to Rs. 1,53,867, when the Claims Tribunal's 15% disability assessment (based on Dr. K.M. Mitra's examined testimony) was justified. The Court set aside the High Court's order and restored the Tribunal's award, allowing the claimant to withdraw the compensation if not already withdrawn.
