Supreme Court Affirms Right to Quality Prosthetic Limbs and Increased Compensation for Accident Victims

The Supreme Court ruled that motor accident victims are entitled to high-quality prosthetic limbs, emphasizing their role in restoring confidence and life quality for amputees. The court increased compensation for Prahlad Sahai, who lost his leg in a 2007 accident, from Rs 13.02 lakh to nearly Rs 50 lakh. It rejected insurance firms' reliance on low government rates, affirming victims' right to choose private centres for personalized prosthetic devices.
