Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the claimants' petition under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the Motor Accident Compensation Tribunal's award. The Court found that the claimants failed to establish the liability of the Insurance Company due to the absence of necessary parties and evidence. The judgment reinforces the principle that claimants must provide sufficient proof of liability in motor accident claims.
