    Summary of FAO/340/2018 The High Court of Himachal Pradesh set aside the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's award of Rs. 11,37,000 compensation to claimants (Hamida Begum and others) and remanded the case for retrial. The court found that the tribunal improperly fastened liability on the motorcycle insurer without framing an issue regarding the motorcycle driver's negligence, and without allowing the newly impleaded motorcycle parties (added in November 2016) a fair opportunity to defend themselves. The court ordered the tribunal to re-frame all issues, allow claimants to amend their petition, grant the motorcycle insurer a chance to file a reply, and conduct fresh evidence proceedings with a six-month deadline.
