Mohali: ₹6.8-lakh relief for kin of scooterist killed in mishap
Hindustan TimesOver a year after speeding tipper truck claimed the life of a 62-year-old scooterist in a road accident in 2023, a local court on Friday awarded ₹6.8 lakh as compensation to his bereaved family. The untimely death of the deceased shattered his family members’ lives and caused them significant mental anguish, the Mohali court was informed. In their response, the truck’s insurer informed the court that at the time of the alleged accident, the truck driver did not have a valid and effective driving licence, violating the Motor Vehicles Act and insurance policy terms. The truck, with number PB-65-AS 5124, also lacked a valid registration certificate, permit, route permit and fitness certificate at the time of the accident, and was used in violation of insurance policy and Motor Vehicles Act terms, thus no liability can be imposed under the insurance policy.
