Section 166 MV Act | Total Vision Loss in One Eye Valued at 30% Permanent Disability Under Workmen Compensation Act Schedule : MP HC Enhances Compensation

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that total vision loss in one eye constitutes 30% permanent disability under the Workmen Compensation Act schedule, directing tribunals to apply this benchmark for fair compensation. The judgment corrects undervaluation of disability in motor accident claims, impacting future awards for similarly injured claimants.
