The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) in Mohali has awarded ₹13 lakh (approximately $15,600 USD) to the elderly parents of Sanjeev Kumar, a 45-year-old man who was killed in a hit-and-run incident near the Punjab–Haryana border on May 21, 2025. Sanjeev was waiting for a bus with his younger brother, Rakesh Kumar, when a speeding car struck him and fled the scene. Rakesh, the sole eyewitness, provided consistent evidence that supported the family's claim. The tribunal noted that Sanjeev was a daily-wage worker who financially supported his 80-year-old father, Partap Singh, and 77-year-old mother, Darshna Devi. His death left the family without income, prompting them to seek compensation for basic sustenance. The tribunal used the standard multiplier method, including additional compensation for filial consortium, to arrive at the total amount. The insurer has been ordered to release the compensation with 7.5% annual interest from the date of the petition.
