(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) New Delhi- A Delhi Motor Accident Claims Tribunal has awarded over Rs 1.62 crore as compensation to a 21-year-old man, who suffered 53 per cent temporary disability in a road accident in July 2024.
Presiding Officer Vikram was hearing a petition filed by the man.

On July 1, 2024, Aryan Rana was going home when a rashly-driven bus hit his scooty from behind. He sustained grievous injuries and was rushed to a hospital.

The respondents had claimed false implication in the case but had filed no complaint with regards to the same. Furthermore, the conductor of the bus had stated as a witness that the petitioner's scooty was ahead of the offending bus on the day of the accident and when the bus had overtaken the scooty, the bus collided with it.

In a judgment dated January 6, the tribunal said,“It is held that the rashness and negligence on the part of driver of the offending vehicle, which is clearly visible and as such, was responsible not only for this accident, but also for everything that followed thereafter”

The tribunal noted the petitioner had been medically certified as 53 per cent temporarily disabled. He was 21 years old at the time of the accident and a first year university student who could not continue his education due to the accident.
