Civil court in Hyderabad awards Rs 10 lakh compensation to kin of road accident victim
Hyderabad: The city civil court, under the motor accident claims, has awarded a compensation of 10.3 lakh with 9% interest to the family of T Yadagiri, who lost his life in a road accident. According to the family, on Nov 6, 2019, Yadagiri (55), was travelling with his wife on a motorcycle near Nidigonda village in Jangaon district when a TGSRTC bus, driven by M Nagesh, allegedly entered the wrong lane at a high speed and hit the two-wheeler head-on. While Yadagiri died on the spot, his wife sustained injuries. An FIR was registered at Ragunathapalli police station, and a chargesheet was later filed against the bus driver. The compensation petition was filed by Yadagiri's wife, Laxmi Bai, his son Jampu (who later passed away during proceedings), and his minor granddaughter, Jasmitha. The court, however, recognised only the wife and granddaughter as dependents and examined evidence including, the FIR, chargesheet, inquest, and postmortem reports.

In assessing compensation, the court fixed Yadagiri's income at the minimum wage for a light motor driver, 9,516 per month, adding 10% towards future prospects. By applying the legal multiplier, the court calculated the family's loss of dependency at 9.21 lakh. Additionally, compensation was awarded under various heads: 80,000 towards consortium, 15,000 for loss of estate, and 15,000 for funeral expenses. The court ordered TGSRTC and the driver to pay the compensation jointly. It further ordered that the deceased's wife can withdraw 3 lakh, while the granddaughter's share will remain in a fixed deposit until she attains the age of 18.
