Pit was dug up by TWAD Board; HC blames contractor's negligence

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @Madurai

THE Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court recently ordered ₹13.42 lakh compensation to the family of a security guard who died after accidentally falling into a pit dug for a TWAD Board project in 2009.

Justice GK Ilanthiraiyan passed the order on a petition filed by R Valli, wife of the deceased Rajmohan (50), in 2022.

A perusal of the order revealed that Rajmohan was working as a security guard in a private school in Madurai.

Around 8.15 pm on October 1, 2009, when Rajmohan was returning home from work on his bicycle, he fell into a 10-ft pit dug for laying a water pipeline for Thirupparankundram water supply scheme, which was being executed by the TWAD Board.

He suffered a neck injury and died on the spot.
