The Thane MACT has awarded Rs 4.9 lakh as compensation to a 34-year-old woman who was hospitalized for a long period after a multi-utility vehicle hit her scooter in 2017.
Sunita Bhanushali, a private tutor, was on her scooter when the MUV collided head on, leaving her in hospital and without an income for a considerable period of time. In his order, MACT member and district judge M M Walimohammed said the owner of the MUV and the insurance firm "should jointly and severally make the payment along with 7% interest per annum".
