NORTH WEST KARNATAKA RD.TRANSPORT CORP. vs GOURABAI .

The Supreme Court set aside the award of Rs.2,59,400/- made by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) and upheld by the Karnataka High Court, concluding that the deceased's injuries were not sustained in a vehicular accident but rather from a fall at home. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, particularly the doctor's admission and document R-1, clearly indicated the cause of injury was unrelated to the bus accident. Consequently, the MACT and High Court's decisions were deemed unjustified, leading to the allowance of the appeal.
