Saroj & Ors vs Het Lal & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the claim under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, asserting that the claimants failed to prove that the accident was caused by the rash and negligent driving of the vehicle by the respondent. The Court noted that the owner of the vehicle admitted its involvement in the accident but contended that the deceased was at fault due to his own negligent driving. The Court held that the claimants were not entitled to compensation as they could not establish the liability of the respondents in the accident.
