English translation of the principle

The judgment's award of the diya prescribed in the diya schedule for the sense of sight, based on the forensic physician's report that the injured person lost useful vision, thereby losing this function entirely. Criticizing it on the ground that the assessment did not conclusively establish the injured person's complete loss of this sense. Incorrect.
