Srikrishna Kanta Singh vs. The Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. & Ors. (SC)

Motor Accident Claims–Compensation–Loss of earning–Plea of Insurance Company that there is no scope for any permanent disability since the appellant who was a B.D.O., despite the disability has now been confirmed as an I.A.S. Officer–This contention would deprive the claim of loss of income but the loss for permanent disablement definitely has to be considered since it would necessarily lead to loss of life’s amenities–Amount is restricted up to Rs. Five lacs.
