In a significant ruling, a Delhi court has awarded Rs 40 lakh as compensation to the family of a child who tragically lost his life in a 2020 accident. Presiding Officer Sunil Kumar emphasized that the accident occurred due to the rash and negligent driving of the vehicle involved. This case raises critical questions about road safety and the government's accountability in enforcing traffic regulations.
