Summary The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Nagpur, partially allowed a compensation claim filed by 21-year-old Durga Pathak for injuries sustained in a 2019 motorcycle accident caused by a rash and negligent driver of a Wagon-R car. Although the criminal case against the driver resulted in acquittal, the tribunal awarded Rs. 3.5 lakhs (including Rs. 1 lakh for loss of educational career, Rs. 1 lakh for medical expenses, Rs. 1 lakh for loss of marriage prospects, and Rs. 40,000 for pain and suffering), plus 7% annual interest, holding that acquittal in criminal proceedings does not bar compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, which applies the "preponderance of probability" standard rather than criminal burden of proof. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
