The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) in Maharashtra's Thane district has awarded ₹10.8 lakh in compensation to a 29-year-old man who sustained serious injuries in a road accident that occurred in 2018.

According to PTI, MACT Chairman S.B. Agrawal directed that the compensation be jointly and severally paid by the owner of the tempo involved in the accident and the insurance company. The tribunal further ordered that the compensation amount, along with interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum, be paid from the date of filing the petition until the full amount is realised.
