Surender Kumar Arora Vs. Manoj Bisla
|
Head Note
Motor Vehicles Act,1988 - Section 163-A , Section 166
Distinction between - Admittedly, the petition filed by the claimants was under Section 166 of the Act and not under Section 163-A of the Act. This is not in dispute. Therefore, it was the entire responsibility of the parents of the deceased to have established that respondent no.1 drew the vehicle in a rash and negligent manner which resulted in the fatal accident. Maybe, in order to help respondent no.1, the claimants had not taken up that plea before the Tribunal. Therefore, High Court was justified in sustaining the judgment and order passed by the Tribunal. The claimants had filed the petition under Section 163-A of the Act.
