MANAGING DIRECTOR B.M.T.C vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that apportioned liability for an accident between the claimant and the appellant, holding that the High Court failed to consider the findings of the MACT Court, which established that the claimant was solely responsible for the accident due to negligent driving. The Court emphasized that the appellant's vehicle was stationary at the bus stand, and the claimant's vehicle collided with it from behind. Consequently, the Court reinstated the MACT's dismissal of the claim for compensation, affirming that the claimant was not entitled to any damages.
