The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal has instructed Delhi Transport Corporation to pay over Rs 34 lakh to the family members of a man who was run over by a DTC bus.
The MACT directed the United India Insurance Company Ltd, with which the bus was insured, to pay a total compensation of Rs 34,13,656 to the kin of Hari Charan Ram, who had died on October 14, 2011 after being hit by the DTC bus here.
The tribunal relied on the statement of Jagdish, who was an eye-witness to the accident and had also sustained grievous injuries.
‘In view of the aforesaid judgments and testimony of eye-witness, ....preponderance of probability is that deceased (Ram) died due to rash and negligent driving of the offending vehicle by R1 (Rajinder Singh),’ MACT judge Rekha Rani said.
