    Case Summary: FAO/2035/2005 The Punjab & Haryana High Court allowed the appeal and reversed the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's dismissal, holding that the tractor (HR-01H-2598) driven by Harjinder Singh caused the fatal accident on March 15, 2004, based on credible eyewitness testimony from two witnesses who chased the vehicle and noted its registration number. The court awarded Rs. 5,26,224 in total compensation to the claimants (deceased's family) for loss of dependency, funeral expenses, and consortium losses, plus 7.5% annual interest, finding the Tribunal erred in rejecting unrebutted and consistent witness evidence merely because the FIR was filed the next day. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
