2 Facts, in brief, leading to the filing of the appeal are that on the intervening night of 21/22.07.2018, Balkesh was
travelling to Kulana Warehouse from Dehradun on his vehicle. A truck bearing registration no. UK-17-CA-1521,
which was being carelessly driven by Shahanud Ali, hit
the vehicle of Balkesh. As a result of the impact, Balkesh sustained multiple injuries. He was taken to the G.H. Saharanpur where he succumbed to injuries.
An FIR (Ex.P1) No.
159, dated
22.07.2018 under sections 279, 337, 338, 427 and 304-A was lodged at Police Station Fatehpur, Distt. Saharanpur, U.P. Claimants filed a petition under Section 166 of the MV Act claiming compensation on account of the death of Balkesh, which has been partly accepted
and they have been granted compensation of Rs.24,26,200/-. Respondents have been jointly and severally held liable to pay the compensation, along with interest @ 7.5% p.a., from the date of filing of the claim petition. 1
