The Apsrtc, v. Gunnam Venkata Lakshmi Died as per Lr
Case brief
What is this about?
Motor accident appeal by APSRTC against award to an injured claimant. Court upheld the finding of rash and negligent driving based on unrebutted evidence of the injured, FIR and charge sheet, and confirmed the compensation heads except a Rs.500 miscalculation under loss of earnings (Rs.95,000 should be Rs.94,500). Functional disability award of Rs.30,000 was held unjustifiable but offset by enhancing pain and suffering from Rs.15,000 to Rs.45,000. Appeal allowed in part reducing compensation from Rs.1,80,000 to Rs.1,79,500 with proportionate costs and interest; no costs in appeal.
