Insurer's Liability Established Without Cross-Examination | MV Act Compensation Enhanced to ₹39.30 Lakhs : Bombay HC Nagpur Bench
Bombay HC Nagpur Bench dismissed the insurer's appeal, upholding the tribunal's negligence finding and enhancing compensation to ₹39.30 lakhs for the death of an MBBS student. The court rejected the insurer's argument that lack of cross-examination invalidated liability, affirming the Motor Vehicles Act's strict liability framework.
