    The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal dismissed the compensation petition filed by the dependents of Antony, who died in a motorcycle-Mahindra Bolero collision on March 22, 2017. The tribunal found that the petitioners failed to prove negligence by the Bolero driver (2nd respondent), as the police investigation concluded it was unavoidable and blamed the motorcycle rider's rash driving. Since proof of negligence is mandatory under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act and the petitioners' eyewitness testimony was unreliable and contradicted by the investigating officer's report, the petition was dismissed with no compensation awarded.
