(a) the state-wise/UT-wise details and number of cases pending for disposal before the Moter
Accident Claims Tribunals in the country during each of the last three years and the current
year;
(b) whether the Government is contemplating to evolve a mechanism for speedy disposal of the
cases lying pending in Motor Accident Claims Tribunals for a long time; and
(c) if so, the details thereof ?
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ROAD TRANSPORT & HIGHWAYS (DR. TUSHAR A. CHAUDHARY)
(a)to(c) Section 165 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, provides that a State Government may,
by notification in the Official Gazette, constitute one or more Motor Accidents Claims
Tribunals for such area as may be specified in the notification for the purpose of adjudicating
upon claims for compensation in respect of accidents involving the death of, or bodily injury to
,persons arising out of the use of motor vehicles, or damages to any property of a third party
so arising, or both. Hence, the working of Motor Accidents Claims Tribunals comes under the
purview of State Government/UT Administration concerned. The details relating to cases pending
for disposal is not centrally maintained and is, therefore, not available with the Ministry.
