The Divisional Court held, it had jurisdiction and granted decree. On appeal a Division Bench referred to an earlier judgment of that court in Yenkoba Balset Kasar Vs. Rambhaji (9 Bombay H.C.Rep.

Madan Mohan & Anr., IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Arvind Kumar Mishra Vs. New India Assurance Co. Ltd. and Anr. 7.

Perfect compensation is hardly possible but one has to keep in mind that the victim has done no wrong; he has suffered at the hands of the wrongdoer and the court must take care to give him full and fair compensation for that he had suffered.
