Delhi Tribunal Awards Rs 1.26 Crore Compensation for Fatal Road Accident
A Delhi Motor Accident Claims Tribunal has awarded Rs 1.26 crore in compensation to the family of Manish Kumar Chaudhary, a 32-year-old assistant floor manager who died in a road accident in October 2023. The tribunal found a DTC bus driver's rash and negligent lane change caused the collision with Chaudhary's motorcycle. CCTV footage supported this, refuting the driver's claims and contributory negligence defense. The compensation is to be paid by the insurer, New India Assurance Co Ltd, to Chaudhary's mother and sister, who were dependent on him.
