Mishap victim8217;s widow gets Rs 7L compensation

8220;In view of eye witness Raju8217;s testimony,I have no reason to disbelieve that Ram Kishore was hit by Wagon R of Gulshan Kumar which was being driven by him rashly and negligently and that Ram Kishore died on being hit by it.8221;

8220;United India Insurance Company is accordingly directed to deposit the awarded amount of Rs 6,92,740 within 30 days,8221; the tribunal said.

The order came on Mamata8217;s plea that her husband was hit by a rashly-driven Wagon R on May 23,2008 night when he was returning home from work with his friend.

She had told the court that he was taken to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries the next day.

During adjudication of the case,offending car8217;s driver Gulshan Kumar had argued that Kishore,a labourer,was hit by a rashly driven motorcycle which had led to his death.

The tribunal,however,denied his argument relying on the testimony of Kishore8217;s friend Raju,who was with him at the time of the accident and had deposed that he had not seen any motorcycle hitting Kishore.
