    Case Summary: Yasoda v. Bibin P K and Others (OP 279/2021) Decision: The MACT awarded ₹40,000 compensation to petitioner Yasoda, a coolie worker hit by a car on June 11, 2020. The tribunal found the first respondent (driver) liable for rash and negligent driving based on the FIR and charge sheet, and held the insurance company (third respondent) responsible for payment with 9% interest from March 30, 2021. Key Reasoning: In the absence of contrary evidence from the respondents (who appeared ex-parte), the police charge sheet under IPC sections 279 and 337 established negligence. The tribunal treated injuries as minor and awarded a consolidated amount rather than itemized damages, following Kerala High Court precedent in Dr. Safia Beevi v. National Insurance Co. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
