    Case Summary: Vinod Kumar.V v. Maruthachala Moorthi & Ors (OP(M.V) 642/2021) The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal awarded ₹4,93,310 in compensation to petitioner Vinod Kumar after he sustained serious injuries (fractured patella, knee ligament fracture, and lacerated wounds) when a pickup van driven by the first respondent collided with his motorcycle on April 15, 2021. The tribunal found the driver's rash and negligent driving was the direct cause of the accident, relying on the FIR and police chargesheet as prima facie evidence of negligence. Oriental Insurance Company (third respondent) was held liable to pay the full compensation with 9% interest, as the vehicle was insured and had valid fitness certification on the accident date.
