The High Court of Karnataka has enhanced compensation to ₹21.8 lakh, from ₹4.4 lakh awarded by the tribunal in 2010, to a girl who had become 50% physically disable due to injuries caused in a road accident in 2006 when she was 7 years old.
The Court held that the girl had become ‘100% functionally disabled’ due to nature of disability and required to be paid higher compensation for loss of earning capacity.
