    FAO/1662/2001 - National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Babita & Ors. Summary: The High Court of Punjab and Haryana upheld the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's finding that a 1998 motor vehicle accident was caused by the truck driver's rash and negligent driving, and dismissed National Insurance Company's appeals challenging the driver's valid license. The court partly allowed claimants' appeals for enhanced compensation, increasing awards for deaths of Jagdish Lal (₹4,38,000 to ₹5,92,500) and Rakesh Kumar (₹3,13,200 to ₹5,63,840), plus 7.5% annual interest, while rejecting the insurer's defense of policy breach.
