FA No 1345/2015 in MACT Case 634/2002 at Pune
On an eventful day, 35 years ago, a meritorious and bright student, Mr. Aniruddha Dashrath Anand, having dreams of making it big in life, was travelling on a motorcycle with his friend. Due to incessant rain on that unfortunate day, the motorcycle driver lost control and Mr. Anand was pushed into a life of pain and suffering. He was in coma for 21 days after that. However, that was only the beginning of a life, that could have been adored with unending heights of greatness, but for the accident, was languishing in the nadir of despair, frustration and mental agony. In an attempt to ameliorate some of his suffering, we settled the matter at the High Court, Bombay in 2022, during the National Lok Adalat for an amount of Rs 43,50,000/- (32 lakhs plus accrued interest) towards the full and final settlement. This was the least we could do for the budding engineer the society lost on that day.

A teacher in a school, Mr. Bhaurao Bhangare, was busy in grooming the next generation of our society. However, all came to a halt on that fateful day of 14.01.2013, when he was dashed by a Jeep while crossing the road. His family lost the sole bread-earner at an age when he was just about to bloom into a fine human being, the caregiver for his wife, the doting father to his daughters, the last resort of his ageing parents. We can never compensate for their loss, but within our limited capacity, we settled the case for an amount of Rs 62,00,000/- to give some financial security to the bereaved family.
