Case Summary: MACP No. 289/2023 Court Decision: The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal partly allowed GSRTC's compensation claim, awarding Rs. 1,00,000 instead of the claimed Rs. 1,80,000 for vehicle damage caused by a truck collision. Key Facts & Reasoning: On April 29, 2023, a Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation bus was hit by an Eicher truck driven recklessly at excessive speed, causing extensive damage. The tribunal found 100% negligence on the truck driver's part based on the FIR and evidence, but reduced damages from Rs. 1,80,000 to Rs. 1,00,000 (Rs. 70,000 for physical damage per police panchnama assessment, plus Rs. 30,000 for lost operational income), as the corporation's internal repair bill lacked independent technical verification. The insurance company and truck owner were held jointly and severally liable, with 9% annual interest awarded from claim filing date.
