Judgment
Case Summary: MVC/291/2023 Court Decision: The Additional Senior Civil Judge & JMFC, Channapatna, partly allowed the compensation claim filed under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Facts: On July 15, 2022, deceased Jayaramu and his friend Boregowda were traveling on a scooter on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Road when a KSRTC bus, driven negligently, collided with their scooter at a U-turn near Nidagahatta. Both riders died in the accident. The petitioners (deceased's wife and dependents) claimed ₹40 lakh compensation. Key Findings: The court established that the accident was caused by the rash and negligent driving of the KSRTC bus driver through FIR, post-mortem reports, and charge sheet evidence. However, since the petitioners failed to prove the deceased's claimed income of ₹40,000/month, the court assessed notional income at ₹15,500/month (per Karnataka Legal Services Authority guidelines for 2022). The deceased was 69 years old at death, with a multiplier of 5 applied. One petitioner was excluded as she was married. Award: Petitioners No. 1 and 2 received ₹7,30,040 total (₹4,01,522 and ₹3,28,518 respectively), including loss of dependency, consortium, funeral, and estate loss heads, with 9% annual interest from petition date until realization, payable within 30 days.
