In Brief
In this motor insurance compensation appeal, the insurer challenged an award of Rs. 14.79 lakhs to a claimant who suffered injuries. The main dispute concerned Rs. 1.50 lakhs awarded for incidental expenses, transportation, and diet, which the insurer contended lacked medical evidence. However, the claimant conceded to reduce this amount to Rs. 50,000. The Court found the loss-of-income award (Rs. 72,000) and medical expenses award (Rs. 10,57,407) were based on material evidence and documents, warranting no interference. Consequently, the total compensation was reduced by Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 13,79,407, and the appeal was partly allowed."
