Mohar Sai vs Gayatri Devi

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision which partly allowed the appeal against the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's award, finding that the deceased was 50% liable for contributory negligence under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court confirmed that the claimants were entitled to Rs.3,86,500 with interest at 7.5% per annum from the date of filing the claim petition. The ruling emphasizes the principle of contributory negligence in motor accident claims, affirming the Tribunal's findings on liability and compensation calculation.
