HEIRS OF DECEASED AKASH RAMABHAI PARMAR ( vs BHARATBHAI RAMBHAI PARMAR — 8/2024

Summary The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal dismissed the compensation claim filed by the heirs of 19-year-old Aakash Ramabhai Parmar (who died in a motorcycle accident on 22/02/2024) against the vehicle owner and insurance company. The court held that since the deceased was driving a borrowed motorcycle and no other vehicle was involved, he "stepped into the shoes of the owner" and thus cannot be classified as a "Third Party" under Section 147 of the Motor Vehicles Act, making the claim under Section 164 unmaintainable against the insurer's "Liability Only" policy.
