Mumbai MACT Dismisses BESTs ₹42,484 Claim, Cites Lack Of Proof Of NMMT Drivers Negligence

Mumbai Motor Accident Claims Tribunal dismissed BEST's claim for ₹42,484 repair costs.

BEST failed to prove that the NMMT bus driver was negligent in the January 2017 collision.

The tribunal relied on the Traffic Accident Report, which cited heavy traffic as the cause.

BEST's only witness was not an eyewitness, limiting evidence of negligence.

Under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, negligence must be proven for compensation.
