Orders
Case Summary: FA/1725/2002 Court Decision: The High Court of Bombay allowed the appeal, setting aside the tribunal's finding of contributory negligence against the deceased motorcyclist and substantially enhancing compensation from Rs. 1,91,000 to Rs. 8,80,800 (with enhanced compensation of Rs. 6,89,800). The court found the ST Bus driver solely negligent for the fatal 1991 accident, accepting eyewitness testimony over the driver's contradictory account and awarding compensation to five legal representatives including the deceased's handicapped sister. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
