Case Summary: Soumi P. Sainudheen v. Muhammed Ismail & Others (OP(MV) 721/2021) Decision: The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal awarded ₹2,56,050 to the petitioner for injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident on 30.03.2022. The tribunal found the first respondent (motorcycle rider) negligent and held the second respondent (vehicle owner) vicariously liable; New India Assurance Co. Ltd. (third respondent/insurer) was directed to pay the full compensation at 9% annual interest from the petition date. Key Reasoning: The tribunal accepted the FIR, final police report, and AMVI vehicle report as prima facie evidence of negligence. Despite the rider and owner's ex-parte default, no contradictory evidence was presented. The petitioner's injuries (wrist swelling, missing tooth, body tenderness) and 2% permanent disability were substantiated by medical certificates. Compensation was calculated using a notional monthly income of ₹19,000 for the tailor-claimant, multiplier of 15 (age 40), and included loss of earnings, medical expenses, pain/suffering, and disability compensation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
