The appellants-claimants, i.e., the parents, wife, and three minor daughters, then aged 4, 2, and 1, respectively, of late Jalander Jadhav, challenge the impugned judgment and award dated 13.02.2015 by which the Motor accident Claims Tribunal (Tribunal) determined compensation payable to them at Rs.30,18,000/- but dismissed the claim petition on the specious plea that the claimants failed to establish rashness and negligence on the part of the respondent no.2, i.e., the driver of the tipper truck bearing registration no.Ga-09-U-0257.
