Anoop Maheshwawri vs. Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. & Ors. 2025 INSC1076

The Supreme Court delivers vital clarity on motor accident compensation, emphasising the distinction between “medical disability” and “functional disability” for determining loss of earning capacity under the Employees’ Compensation Act, 1923. The Court accepted medical evidence but assessed functional disability at 50%, and restored full medical expenses, including future prosthetic costs, setting a significant precedent for compensation calculations. #MotorAccidentLaw #SupremeCourt #CompensationLaw
