    Judegement

    Summary The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (Mahesana) partially allowed a compensation claim filed under Section 163-A of the Motor Vehicles Act. The tribunal awarded Rs. 12,11,740 to the heirs of Vadi Poojaben Nileshbhai, who died in a rickshaw accident on 21/08/2021, comprising loss of dependency benefits (Rs. 12,02,240), funeral expenses (Rs. 2,000), loss of estate (Rs. 2,500), and loss of consortium (Rs. 5,000). Though the driver lacked a valid driving license (a policy breach), the insurance company was held liable to pay with liberty to recover from the vehicle owner under the "pay and recover" principle, as the policy was active at accident time and Section 163-A claims do not require proving negligence.
