Case Summary: AO/450/2019 Court Decision: The High Court of Uttarakhand dismissed IFFCO TOKIO GIC Ltd.'s appeal and upheld the Motor Accident Tribunal's compensation award of Rs. 19,61,090/- to the deceased's family. The court found the car driver was solely responsible for the rash and negligent driving that caused the fatal motorcycle accident on 26.03.2016, rejecting the insurer's arguments about discrepancies in FIR vehicle details and contributory negligence by the motorcycle rider. Key Reasoning: The court relied on eyewitness testimony (PW3 Ajay Kaushal) identifying the Santro Hyundai car as the vehicle causing the collision, finding minor FIR discrepancies immaterial. The court noted the appellant presented no evidence supporting contributory negligence claims, while claimants established the car driver's sole fault through direct witnesses and medical documentation.
