#Evidence-Based Adjudication

Bombay High Court enhances motor accident compensation by applying the Pranay Sethi principles, revising the disability assessment from 8% to 10% after evaluating evidentiary gaps. The ruling underscores the need for tribunals to balance equity in income and disability calculations, ensuring compensation reflects actual loss of earning capacity.

The Karnataka High Court ruled that interim maintenance under the PWDV Act cannot be granted solely on ex parte affidavits. Courts must record evidence to assess financial capacity and need before awarding maintenance, ensuring fairness to both parties. This sets a precedent for evidence-based adjudication in domestic violence cases.
