Shiv Kumari Lr (S/C) vs Deepanshu Singh on 28 October, 2025

that one of the main objective that the act aims to achieve is to ensure expeditious help to accident victim and their families. The act provides compulsory insurance qua third party risk making the insurance company liable to reimburse the insured in case of any liability incurred by him towards third party, arising out of motor vehicle accident involving his vehicle. The act aims at providing compensation to the victim of the accident who have suffered injuries 'grievous or simple' or the loss of their loved ones to ensure that they are able to lead a decent life post accident. Though the compensation awarded to a victim of a accident under the MV Act cannot relegate the person to the same position as he was in, before the accident, yet the financial assistance provided to him in the form of compensation provides some ray of light to him and enables him to lead a decent life post accident. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the compensation to which a victim of an accident is held entitled in the judgment or an award passed by MACT Tribunal, is made available to him without any delay and the victim is not made to run from pillar to post to obtain the same and also does not have to wait for years and years to receive the compensation. Any delay in payment of compensation would amount to rendering the provisions of the MV Act meaningless. It also cannot be lost sight of that where the driver and the owner are the persons with weak financial background, the payment of the compensation to the victim would infact become impossible. 10.3 Recently, a similar issue was raised before the Hon'ble High Court of Allahabad in matter of "ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Vs. Arti Devi & Ors", First Appeal Shiv Kumari & Ors. vs. Deepanshu Singh & ors.
