In Brief
An auto-rickshaw driver suffered eye injury in a motor accident and claimed compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Act. The trial court awarded him compensation, but the High Court reduced it. The Supreme Court allowed his appeal, holding that the High Court should not have reduced the compensation awarded by the Workmen's Compensation Commissioner. The Court restored the original compensation order while approving the High Court's decision to reduce the interest rate to 7.5%.
