Respondent Insurance Company is directed to pay the enhanced amount of compensation

Last updated: 22 June 2023
Quick Summary
The Supreme Court has ordered an insurance company to pay enhanced compensation to a skilled labourer who suffered a permanent partial disability after a workplace accident. The court determined that the appellant's functional disability should be assessed as 100%, significantly increasing the awarded compensation to Rs. 9,30,000/-. This amount includes medical expenses and will accrue interest at 9% per annum from the application date until full payment.

Court :
Supreme Court of India

Brief :
The present appeal was directed against the final order passed by the High Court of Karnataka (hereinafter referred to as "High Court"), wherein the High Court partly allowed the appeal of the Appellant and assessed the income as Rs.8000/- per month and accordingly reduced the compensation to Rs. 2,19,512/-. Hence the challenge against the reduction of compensation.
