In a recent order, MACT member K D Vadane directed respondents Sanjay Wagh of Nashik, the owner of the car, and insurer United India Insurance Company Limited, to make the payment to the kin of the victim along with interest at 8 per cent per annum from the date of filing the claim.
The application was filed by family members of Manohar Chavan, who was killed in the accident.
They contended that Chavan, who was working with the Thane Municipal Corporation as a driver, on October 24, 2014, was knocked down by a car while standing on the Mumbai-Nashik highway.
