A senior nurse in Mumbai, Sheeba Joseph, filed a claim for a large sum of money after a car accident.
She said her injuries from the accident made it hard for her to work.
But, the judge looked at her work records and saw her salary went up after the accident, and she kept working.
So, the judge decided she wasn't as badly affected as she said.
The judge only gave her money to cover her medical bills.
