National Insurance Co vs Prembai Patel And Others on 18 April, 2005

This Court after examining the facts and circumstances notices that even in Prembai Patel's case (1 supra), the Supreme Court has stated that a person who is injured has an option of filing an application under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (for short 'the Act') or under the Workmen's Compensation Act. The Supreme Court in paragraph 6 has clearly held that in a petition under the Workmen's Compensation Act, the injured or the legal heirs of the deceased workmen do not have to establish negligence as a 1 2005 ACJ 1323 3 pre-condition for award of compensation. But in a claim petition before the Motor Accidents Claim Tribunal, negligence becomes an issue. The injured or the legal representatives of the deceased have to establish by preponderance of evidence that there was no negligence on the part of the deceased in a motor accident claim.
