Indian Tribunals Address Compensation Claims in Fatal Road Accident Cases
Three Motor Accident Claims Tribunals (MACT) cases highlight compensation awards and claims related to fatal road accidents in India. In Mumbai, the MACT ordered Rs 31.84 lakh compensation to the family of musician Harshad Mistry, killed in 2018. The Madhya Pradesh High Court upheld a Rs 77.40 lakh award for a BSF employee's family from a 2019 accident. Separately, a Mumbai tribunal allowed a mother's compensation claim for her son's 2022 hit-and-run death to proceed, citing delays in police investigation.
