Summary The Motor Accident Claim Tribunal, Nagpur awarded Rs. 10,21,500 to the claimants (widow and two adult sons of the deceased) for the death of Vasanta Vaidya in a tanker accident on 17/01/2023. Though HDFC ERGO Insurance Company contested the claim alleging the insurance policy was fraudulently obtained for a motorcycle instead of the tanker, the tribunal held the company liable, reasoning that it cannot escape liability by merely showing the owner's misrepresentation—the company received the premium and issued the policy mentioning the vehicle's correct registration number. The tribunal found the tanker driver negligent and ordered both the insurance company and vehicle owner to jointly pay compensation with 7.5% annual interest.
