As per case facts, Rajbir and Karamjit sustained multiple injuries in a motor vehicle accident caused by the rash and negligent driving of the respondent. Their compensation claims were dismissed ... by the Tribunal due to a minor discrepancy in the accident date cited in the petition versus evidence like FIR and medical reports. They appealed, contending this was a typographical error and should not invalidate their claims. The core legal question was whether a mere typographical error in the accident date in a claim petition, despite clear corroborating evidence of the actual accident and injuries, could justify the dismissal of compensation under the beneficial Motor Vehicles Act. Finally, the High Court ruled that the Tribunal erred by prioritizing a typographical error over the substance of the evidence. Emphasizing the summary nature of such proceedings and the objective to provide just compensation, the Court found the accident occurred due to the respondent's negligence. Consequently, the Tribunal's decision was reversed, and fair compensation was awarded to both appellants for their pain, medical expenses, loss of income, special diet, and loss of amenities.
