In Brief
Magma HDI General Insurance challenged a motor vehicle accident compensation award while the claimant sought enhancement. The Supreme Court found that the High Court erred in not hearing both the insurance company's appeal and the claimant's cross-appeal together, as they arose from the same accident. The Court set aside the judgment and remitted the matter to the High Court to decide both appeals jointly on merits, in light of the Constitution Bench's decision in National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Pranay Sethi, directing expeditious disposal."
