LALAN D. @ LAL vs THE ORIENTAL INSURANCE COMPANY LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed a claim for compensation arising from a road accident involving the first appellant, a victim who suffered severe injuries. The court examined the validity of the claim made under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and noted that the claim was uncontested by the vehicle owner, leading to an ex-parte decision against him. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the appellants, affirming their right to compensation from the insurance company.
