The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal has awarded to a Raipur Rani woman and her son compensation of ₹13.95 lakh after she lost her husband in a road accident in 2018.
It was stated in a petition filed by Dropa Devi that on November 15, 2018, her husband, Vishal, had died on the spot after his bike was hit by a tractor trailer on Mouli Jatwar Road. His family said he worked working as a labourer and earned about ₹12,000.
In the same case, relief of ₹10,000 was granted to one Rinku Devi, who, along with her husband, had taken lift on Vishal’s bike before the accident.
Rinku Devi had sustained multiple injuries in the mishap.
In her petition, she also mentioned that she had spent ₹80,000 on her treatment and she “has become permanently disabled and been deprived of her income”.
Out of the Dropa Devi’s compensation, ₹13.5 lakh will be payable to her whereas ₹40,000 would go to her son Devendra.
