Copy of Judgment/Order

Summary The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal dismissed the petitioner's claim for ₹50 lakh compensation under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, finding that while the accident on 29.11.2014 causing grievous injuries (Grade II compound fracture) was established, the offending vehicle with fake registration number TN 30 B 6679 could not be identified, making it impossible to fasten liability on any specific tortfeasor. The tribunal held the State and the insurer (of petitioner's own vehicle) not liable but permitted the petitioner to pursue benefits under his policy's Personal Accident cover and apply under the Hit and Run Compensation Scheme. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
