In Brief
In this motor accident compensation appeal, the appellant challenged the compensation award as inadequate. The three-judge bench examined the prior court's award and found it insufficient. The Court modified the compensation amount upward and directed that the enhanced award be paid along with interest accruing from the date the petition was filed until final realization. This judgment affirmed the principle that accident victims are entitled to adequate compensation reflecting the extent of their injury and loss, with interest protecting against inflation and delay in payment.
