The District Judge ruled that the legal heirs of Mahendran, who died from electrocution when a poorly-maintained high-tension power wire fell on his roof during heavy rain on 07.11.2023, are entitled to Rs. 15 lakhs compensation from TANGENCO. The court found the electricity board negligent in wire maintenance and applied Motor Vehicles Act compensation principles to determine damages, awarding Rs. 7 lakhs to the widow and Rs. 4 lakhs each to the two children, with 6% annual interest from the date of filing.
