The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) in Maharashtra's Thane district has awarded a compensation of Rs 39.3 lakh to the family of a 38-year-old civic worker killed in an accident in 2018.

The tribunal directed the insurer, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Co. Ltd., to pay the compensation first, with the liberty to recover the amount from the owner of the tempo involved in the accident, due to a breach of insurance conditions.

A copy of the order, passed by member R V Mohite on July 16, was made available on Saturday.
