Mumbai’s Motor Accident Claims Tribunal has awarded Rs 24.90 lakh to Dipali Angre, widow of pedestrian Dilip Angre, who died after an autorickshaw hit him in Santacruz in 2016. The tribunal held the vehicle’s negligent driving caused the crash and ordered the owner and Generali Central Insurance to pay jointly, with 7.5 per cent annual interest. Dilip, who worked at Taj Sats Air Catering, was earning Rs 37,205.96 a month, according to evidence accepted by the tribunal. His adult sons, aged 29 and 30, were not treated as dependants because they did not prove financial dependence. They will receive Rs 60,000 each, while the widow gets the balance. The tribunal also rejected the insurer’s claim that the driver lacked a valid licence.
