Cohabitation not mandatory for accident compensation, rules Karnataka high court
Bengaluru: Karnataka high court has ruled that cohabitation cannot be treated as a mandatory requirement for claiming compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, stating that it is the insurer's responsibility to prove any allegation of separation. Justice Ravi V Hosmani issued the ruling while partially allowing the appeal filed by a man whose wife died in a road accident in 2021. The case pertains to Yallawwa, a 42-year-old highway maintenance worker who was fatally injured on July 7, 2021 after being struck by a lorry near the KSRTC bus stand in Nidagundi, Vijayapura district, on NH-50. Her husband Ningappa had filed a claim under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, seeking compensation for the loss of his wife. You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru The insurance company, Reliance General Insurance, contested the claim, raising doubts over the accident details, the lorry driver's negligence, and even the claimant's dependency status. The company argued that the deceased had been living separately from Ningappa and therefore, he wasn't entitled to compensation under the category of "loss of dependency". The Vijayapura motor accident claims tribunal awarded only Rs 70,000, citing references in the accident complaint suggesting the couple had been living apart. Compensation for loss of dependency was denied. Ningappa challenged the tribunal's ruling. In response, the insurer referred to a statement by Yallawwa's brother that she had been living separately after Ningappa allegedly remarried, as she was unable to conceive. Justice Hosmani, however, noted inconsistencies in the claim. He pointed out that the brother had admitted to being illiterate and unaware of the contents of the complaint he had signed. Further, the court found no evidence proving a second marriage by Ningappa, nor any findings through cross-examination. Terming the tribunal's denial of dependency compensation unlawful, the judge ruled that separation can't be presumed without clear evidence. Citing the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority's notional income chart for 2021, the court fixed the deceased's monthly income at Rs 14,250 and calculated the total compensation at more than Rs 14.9 lakh. The amount will carry 6% annual interest from the day the original claim was filed.

Your comments are proof why Renukaswamy's family needs justice: Ramya slams Darshan fans
Actress Ramya is once again facing a wave of online trolling for speaking out in support of Renukaswamy's family — the victim in the ongoing murder case linked to actor Darshan . Last week, the Supreme Court strongly criticised the Karnataka High Court's decision to grant bail to Darshan, questioning the rationale behind the order and suggesting it nearly amounted to an acquittal. Sharing a screenshot of this development, Ramya took to Instagram to demand justice for Renukaswamy's death, and wrote: 'SC is a ray of hope for the common people of India- justice for the family of Renukaswamy.' However, her post did not sit well with Darshan's fanbase, many of whom flooded her comments section with abusive and hateful messages. Unfazed, Ramya responded with a sharply worded Instagram Story that read: 'To all the DBoss fans — Welcome to my Instagram :) Your comments are proof why Renukaswamy's family needs justice!' This isn't the first time Ramya has been targeted. Last year, shortly after Darshan's arrest, she had posted, 'No one is above the law. No one should take the law into their hands.' That too had triggered a wave of trolling from his supporters. Meanwhile, Darshan — currently out on bail — has been on a temple run, recently spotted visiting multiple temples across Karnataka. He had also traveled to Thailand last week to shoot portions of his upcoming film Devil, and returned to Bengaluru two days ago. Ramya and Darshan have shared the screen in two Kannada films — Datta and Snehana Preethina.
