Over Rs 57L compensation for man left bedridden after accidents: Why Madras HC stepped in

The court invoked suo motu powers, criticizing the victim's advocate for not seeking enhanced compensation. The victim suffered severe spinal injuries in a second accident while being transported after the first.
