Ruled in favour of Mixed / Mediation Ordered — Matter Pending
In Short
An insurance company and accident victims filed appeals against a motor accident compensation award to either lower or increase the payout amount. Instead of deciding the case immediately, the High Court noticed that the parties might reach an agreement through mediation. The court ordered both sides to visit the Mediation Center and pushed the final hearing to a later date.

What the Case Was About
The background details of the road accident itself are not described in the record, but the dispute involves a motor accident compensation award passed by a lower tribunal. The claimants filed appeals asking for more money, while the insurance company filed an appeal challenging the award entirely. The matter reached the High Court because both sides were unhappy with the financial amount decided by the lower tribunal.
Judgment Date
08.10.2026
The Outcome
The court did not give a final ruling on the money yet, but instead directed all parties to attempt mediation to resolve their differences before the next hearing date.
What the Court Looked At
- The court noted that three appeals were filed by the claimants asking to increase the compensation amount.
- The court noted that the Insurance Company also filed an appeal to challenge the lower tribunal's award.
- The court observed that, upon hearing the matter initially, the dispute seemed suitable for a mediated settlement between the parties.
- The court directed the parties to approach the Mediation Center within one week to try and resolve the compensation dispute peacefully.
