    Case Summary: WA/170/2026 The Gauhati High Court dismissed the appeal of Dhanjit Das's family seeking ₹2,00,000 ex-gratia relief for his death in a road accident (November 27, 2019). While acknowledging their financial hardship, the court upheld the lower court's decision that ex-gratia relief was inappropriate since the offending vehicle was identified and a case registered, making the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) the proper forum. The court advised the family to approach MACT for interim relief under the Motor Vehicles Act's No-Fault Liability provisions, which could grant a larger amount than requested. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
