MUMBAI: Awarding a total compensation of around Rs 52 lakh to a 41-year-old senior business analyst from Chembur who lost his right foot after his long-distance luxury bus collided with a stationary tempo while he was on his way to Bangalore in 2012, the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal factored Rs 1.1 lakh towards loss of leave, which could have been used for other purposes.
“Applicant must have had at least 30 days of medical or sick leave to his credit, which he availed for treatment. The applicant also utilized 14 days’ privilege leave for treatment. This prevented him from availing paid sick and privilege leave for other purposes,” the tribunal said.
