    Summary The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (Patan) awarded ₹1,05,000 in compensation to the legal heirs of deceased Punaji Kuvaraji who died in a jeep accident on 02/11/2004. Under Section 163-A of the Motor Vehicle Act (no-fault liability), the tribunal determined compensation based on the deceased's age (70 years) and assessed income (₹27,000 p.a.), applying a multiplier of 5, plus conventional amounts for funeral expenses and loss of estate. The tribunal rejected the insurance company's defense that breach of policy terms (vehicle overloaded beyond seating capacity) exempted liability, finding insufficient evidence to establish the claim.
