MADURAI: Pointing out how in a majority of road accident death cases, the responsibility is fixed on the driver of the bigger vehicle even when it is the victim who violated the rules and contributed to the accident, the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court observed that such a mentality should be reviewed.
Justice K Murali Shankar made the observation earlier this month while partly allowing an appeal filed by the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC)- Pudukkottai division against a motor accident tribunal s order dated June 30, 2015 directing it to pay Rs 6.6 lakh as compensation to the victim s family.
