4 years after man’s hit-and-run death, tribunal lets mother’s claim proceed

The motor accident claims tribunal said the claim could not be viewed separately from the “exceptional history” of the police investigation, which the Bombay High Court had earlier found to be “grossly callous”

Mumbai: A motor accident claims tribunal (MACT) on Tuesday allowed a compensation claim filed by the mother of a man crushed to death by a truck in Malad in 2022 to proceed, despite the insurer arguing that it was filed too late.

The tribunal said the claim could not be viewed separately from the “exceptional history” of the police investigation, which the Bombay High Court had earlier found to be “grossly callous”.
