Compensation of three and a half lakh dirhams to a Pakistani national who met with an accident while carelessly crossing the road.

On April 15, 2019, Ali Malik, a Pakistani national, was crossing the road in Al Nahda, Sharjah when a speeding car driven by a Filipino national hit him. Both were immediately taken to Al Qasimiyya Hospital for treatment.

The police found that Ali Malik had crossed the road without following the prescribed traffic rules, but that the car driven by the Filipino national was speeding. They registered a case in the criminal court, naming the Filipino national as the first accused and Ali Malik as the second accused.

Ali Malik approached Salam Pappinissery, CEO of Yab Legal Service, for further legal battles. In this, the criminal court found Ali Malik not guilty and released him, asked him to approach the civil court for compensation, and imposed a fine of 1500 dirhams on the first accused, a Filipino national.

Later, Ali Malik's lawyer filed a petition in the civil court for compensation, but the court rejected it on the grounds that the case was not filed within the time limit. However, he registered an appeal case against this and convinced the appeal court by submitting scans and medical reports that his client had suffered serious injuries and had bruises and cuts all over his body, and demanded compensation for his client. After examining the papers, the appeal court found that the arguments were valid and directed the lower courts to consider the case. With this direction from the appeal court, Ali Malik's lawyer filed the case in the insurance court, and the insurance court awarded three and a half lakh dirhams (two crore seventy million Pakistani rupees). The insurance company was forced to pay Ali Malik.
