The Supreme Court set aside the lower court's dismissal of the appeal, which had rejected the claim because the appellant failed to specify the exact disputed amount. The appellant argued that the compensation rate was too low compared to their actual earnings at the time of the accident, while the lower courts required a precise monetary figure for the appeal to proceed. The court ruled that since the facts clearly indicated the appellant was dissatisfied with the awarded rate, the lack of a precise valuation should not have barred the appeal from being heard.
