AI extract
What is this about?
Cross-appeals against a Motor Accident Claims Tribunal award arising from a fatal collision between a Tavera and a truck. The court upheld the award, rejected the insurance company's plea on contributory negligence, relying on Supreme Court precedent permitting claimants to recover fully from any liable party, and enhanced loss-of-consortium compensation by Rs. 40,000 with interest.
What did the court decide?
Claimants' appeal allowed in part: additional Rs. 40,000 compensation with 7% annual interest from date of claim filing; insurance company's appeal dismissed; rest of award affirmed.
