ORDER

The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal allowed Puniyabhai Galiyabhai Machhar's application for delay condonation and directed registration of his motor accident claim petition. The court held that the amended Section 166(3) of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 (imposing a six-month filing limit effective from 01.04.2022) cannot be applied retrospectively to the accident occurring on 03.08.2020, relying on High Court precedent that such amendments are not retrospectively applicable. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
