    The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal in Sathyamangalam allowed the petition and awarded Rs. 30,97,000/- compensation to the family of deceased Devendran who died in a vehicle accident on 26.05.2018 caused by rash and negligent driving. The tribunal held the insurance company (New India Assurance) liable despite the vehicle owner's name not being updated in the policy, as the insurance coverage remained valid at the time of accident, and rejected the insurer's defense that the owner-driver cannot claim compensation as the tort-feasor.
