Case Summary: Kuppusamy v. Abdullah and Mohammed Ibrahim (MCOP 28/2022) Decision: The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal awarded Rs. 1,69,100 in compensation to petitioner Kuppusamy for grievous injuries sustained in a two-wheeler collision on 20.07.2019, holding only the vehicle owner (1st respondent Abdullah) liable after the driver (2nd respondent) failed to appear and contest. Key Reasoning: The tribunal found the accident resulted from rash and negligent driving based on the FIR and petitioner's testimony. However, insufficient evidence linked the 2nd respondent as the actual driver, so only the 1st respondent as vehicle owner was held responsible. Compensation included Rs. 1,00,000 for 10% permanent disability, plus medical expenses and other heads of damages, with 7.5% annual interest from petition filing date. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
