M. Seetharama @ Seetharama Gowda vs. The Manager Future General India Insurance Co. Ltd. & Ors.

The Supreme Court has increased the compensation for a 38-year-old man who lost part of his foot in a 2015 road accident. The Court found the amount awarded by the High Court (₹12.65 lakh) was too low. It raised his assumed monthly income to ₹10,000, added an amount for future career growth, and increased the compensation for his pain and suffering. The final revised compensation stands at ₹17,06,486, highlighting the need for courts to award fair and just compensation in accident cases.
