Tribunal Awards Rs 1 Crore to Family of UP Police Constable
A police officer named Dinesh Kumar died in a car accident while riding his motorcycle.
The accident happened in Aligarh, and a court in Delhi decided that the insurance company of the car that hit him should pay his family Rs 1 crore.
The court said the car was insured, and the insurance company did not prove that the officer was at fault.
The family includes his wife, parents, and children, and they will receive this money to help them because he was the main earner for the family.
The court looked at the evidence, including a witness and the police report, and decided in favor of the family.
The insurance company argued that the vehicle was falsely implicated, but the court did not agree.
A tribunal in Delhi awarded Rs 1 crore to the family of Dinesh Kumar, a UP Police constable who died in a road accident.
The accident occurred on January 13, 2024, when Kumar's motorcycle was hit by a rashly driven car on the Mathura Bypass Flyover in Aligarh.
The tribunal held the insurance company liable, stating the vehicle was insured and no evidence proved the victim's negligence.
The compensation includes Rs 97.38 lakh for loss of dependency, as Kumar was the sole breadwinner for his family.
The insurance company's defense, which argued the vehicle was falsely implicated, was rejected by the tribunal.
