KAMLESH vs ATTAR SINGH

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in setting aside the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, which had found Attar Singh, the driver of the tempo, negligent under Section 279 and Section 304A IPC. The Court emphasized that the claimants had sufficiently established negligence on the part of Attar Singh, and the Tribunal's determination of compensation at Rs.5,81,000 was justified. The appeal was allowed, restoring the Tribunal's award in favor of the claimants.
