    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana partly allowed Pawan Kumar's appeal against a compensation award of Rs. 21,31,900 for a fatal tractor accident. While affirming that Kumar's rash and negligent driving caused Ram Mehar's death, the court modified the award to require the insurance company to pay compensation first (within three months) with liberty to recover from Kumar, rather than Kumar bearing sole liability, following Supreme Court precedent on motor accident claims. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
