In Brief
In this motor accident compensation case, the Supreme Court had previously raised the amount awarded by a Motor Accident Claims Tribunal from Rs. 22,35,870 to Rs. 40 lakhs, affirming the High Court's position. The petitioner sought a further enhancement through a Review Petition. The Court dismissed the petition, finding no error apparent on record that would justify reopening the judgment. The delay in filing the petition was condoned, but the substantial increase already granted was deemed sufficient.
