The tribunal directed United India Insurance Company Ltd, with which the offending car was insured, to pay Rs 58,94,377 to the wife, three sons and mother of deceased Mukesh Kumar, who died in the accident in August 2013.
"Considering all the documents filed by the petitioners (family members), specifically the site plan, FSL report, chargesheet... It is clear that the respondent no.1 (driver of car) was driving the vehicle in a rash and negligent manner," MACT Presiding Officer Sanjeev Kumar Singh said.
The family, residing in Gazipur here, said in their petition that the incident took place on the night of August 22, 2013, when Kumar was going on his motorcycle from New Rohtak Rani Jhansi Road to Paharganj and the offending car came at a high speed and hit him from behind.
It said the car was being driven in a rash and negligent manner and the victim fell down on the road and sustained serious injuries. He was taken to a hospital where he died five days later.
