The order was issued by Judge Lakshmi G.M., who directed the compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act.
The victim, Mahesh Bhat, an employee of Mangalore Chemicals and Fertilizers (MCF) passed away on May 18, 2018, after his motorcycle was hit by a Rajasthan-registered lorry near Kottara Chowki while he was on his way to work.
The case, filed under the Motor Vehicles Accident Claims Tribunal, sought compensation from the insurance company responsible for the lorry involved in the accident. The company’s lawyers presented several arguments to evade liability, but the court, after examining the documents and arguments from both sides, ruled in favor of the victim’s family.
