Case Summary: Murugadoss v. Managing Director, Tamil Nadu Transport Co Ltd (280/2023) Decision: The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal awarded compensation of ₹1,71,500 to Murugadoss, a 28-year-old injured in a collision with a state-run bus on 24.12.2022. The court found the bus driver solely responsible, rejecting the defendant's argument that the motorcycle rider's alcohol consumption caused the accident, since medical records showed only minimal alcohol levels below legal thresholds. Compensation includes ₹90,000 for 10% permanent disability, ₹15,000 for pain/suffering, ₹36,000 for lost wages (3 months), plus medical expenses and other heads, with 7.5% interest pending payment.
