    Summary The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal awarded Rs. 25,070 compensation to claimant Nikitaben Govabhai Chaudhry, finding the Swift car driver guilty of rash and negligent driving in a head-on collision on 18.08.2015. Although the driver lacked a valid license (constituting policy breach), the tribunal held the insurance company liable to pay first and then recover from the vehicle owner, following Supreme Court precedent in *Shamanna v. Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd.* The compensation covers medical expenses (Rs. 7,064) and lump sum damages (Rs. 18,000) with 9% annual interest from the petition date.
