    Case Summary: MACMA No. 25/2025 The Additional District Judge, Devbhoomi Dwarka allowed the applicant Viruben Pethabhai Kanjariya's application for condonation of delay in filing a motor accident claim petition under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. The applicant's husband died from injuries sustained in a vehicular accident on 11.01.2025, and she filed the claim petition 3 months and 7 days late due to mental distress and farming commitments. The court, relying on Gujarat High Court precedent, held that Section 5 of the Limitation Act applies to motor accident claims despite the six-month statutory limit in Section 166(3), as the legislature did not expressly exclude its applicability. The delay was condoned and the petition was directed to be registered. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
