A court in Delhi has ordered someone to pay a lot of money, over 36 lakh rupees, to the family of a young woman named Anjali.
Anjali was only 20 years old and sadly passed away last year.
She was hit by a car and then dragged for a very long distance in a terrible accident.
The court decided that the person driving the car was driving very badly and was also drinking alcohol.
Because of this driver's actions, Anjali lost her life.
The court said the driver, Amit Khanna, was the one responsible.
The car insurance company has been told to pay the money to Anjali's family very soon.
This money is to help her family after their sad loss.
