The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Perambalur, had in 2022 awarded Rs 3.07 lakh to the claimant Ramesh. However, attributing 50 per cent negligence against him, the Tribunal deducted an equal number from the compensation, arguing that the doctor who had examined Ramesh had reported that he "could smell alcohol in his breath."
The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) directed Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) to pay Rs 15.66 lakh as compensation to the family of a 47-year-old man who died in an accident involving the civic undertaking's bus.
