The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) in Mohali has awarded ₹66.28 lakh to Harpreet Singh, a 23-year-old man who suffered 60% permanent disability after a severe accident on December 9, 2022. Singh was returning home from work when an Innova car collided with his motorcycle, resulting in him being dragged for nearly 500 metres.

This ruling highlighted the importance of compensation in restoring a victim's quality of life. The tribunal awarded over ₹60 lakh for loss of future income, along with additional compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and future medical care.
