Mumbai MACT and Bombay HC Award Compensation in Two Road Accident Cases

In another, the Bombay High Court increased compensation from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 8.83 lakh for a 1992 Bhandup accident victim, rejecting assumptions of contributory negligence without evidence. Both rulings emphasized evidence-based assessments of liability and compensation.
