Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, Section 163-A(2) r/w Section 140(3)

Motor Vehicles Act, 1988—Section 163-A(2) r/w Section 140(3)—A perusal of Section 163(A) reveals that sub-section (2) thereof is in pari materia with sub-section (3) of Section 140—In other words, just as in Section 140 of the Act, so also under Section 163A of the Act, it is not essential for a claimant seeking compensation, to “plead or establish”, that the accident out of which the claim arises suffers from “wrongful act” or “neglect” or “default” of the offending vehicle.
