    The High Court of Himachal Pradesh set aside the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's 50% contributory negligence finding against claimant Shisham Devi, holding the driver was solely liable for rash and negligent driving. The court enhanced compensation from Rs. 1,19,200 to Rs. 1,26,428 at 7.5% interest, rejecting the tribunal's reliance on the claimant's trauma-induced police statement while crediting her consistent testimony and supporting witness evidence.
