IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY
Not mentioned, Not mentioned
Cholamandalam MS General Ins. Co. Ltd. v. Charu Ashok Khandal
1. As observed by us in our earlier order dated 27.2.2025 the first appeal admitted on 6.2.2025, is taken up for final hearing and disposal.
2. The case before us is rather heart - wrenching and a tragic saga of a young aspiring professional girl working as a character animator with a reputed media production house aged 28 years. At prime of her youth, she met with a serious accident on 25.3.2012 in Mumbai and thereafter succumbed to serious cervical spinal cord injuries. She courageously faced the ordeal for about five years, and on 17.1.2017 she passed away. It is after such accident that the deceased - original claimant filed the claim for compensation before the Motor Accidents Claim Tribunal ('MACT') on 10.6.2014 under S.166 of the Motor Vehicles Act <>, 1988 ('MV Act').
3. The appellant, i.e., Cholamandalam MS General Ins. Co. Ltd. has assailed the impugned judgment of MACT, Mumbai in MAC Application No. 875 of 2014, dated 27.11.2020 ('impugned judgment'). Such challenge is mainly on the ground that the MACT grossly erred in awarding the compensation of Rs.62,00,000 to the victim being contrary to the facts on record and the provisions of law as would be applicable.
