The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) has awarded ₹19 lakh (approximately $23,000 USD) in compensation to the family of Dinesh Tripathi, who was killed in a cycling accident in Chandigarh, India in November 2019. The tribunal, presided over by Amit Kumar Grover, held the motorcycle driver solely responsible for the fatal incident. Tripathi was struck by a speeding motorcycle while riding near Centra Mall in the Industrial Area, resulting in grievous injuries that led to his death during treatment at Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER). Despite the driver's initial claims of negligence on Tripathi's part, he failed to substantiate his defense and eventually stopped appearing in court. The tribunal relied on eyewitness accounts, medical records, and employment documents to assess Tripathi's monthly income at ₹16,675 (approximately $200 USD) and calculated the compensation accordingly. The total amount includes provisions for loss of consortium, funeral expenses, and loss of estate, with interest accruing from the date of the petition. The driver, whose motorcycle was uninsured at the time of the accident, is solely liable for the compensation, which is to be distributed among Tripathi's widow and three children, with a portion allocated for fixed deposits for the minors.
