Ramar v. Divisional Manager, National Insurance Company Limited 2025 INSC 1218 - Motor Accident Compensation
Motor Accident Compensation - While partly allowing appeal, SC observed: There is no appeal filed from the order of the Tribunal by the claimant, despite the fact that he had a claim for future prospects, which stood declined by the Tribunal. The High Court had while reducing the income considerably awarded future prospects at the rate of 25%. The further appeal now filed by the claimant is against the order of the High Court in the appeal by the Insurance Company. The appellant hence cannot claim any further enhancement than that granted by the Tribunal, nor seek for addition of future prospects. (Para 6)
