When driver of car died in accident, how can any one prove that the driver was negligent.
1. The 'dependents' of deceased driver can make an application before the Workmen's Compensation Commissioner (now Employees Compensation Commissioner) under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 (now Employee's Compensation Act, 1923. The Commissioner could be the Deputy Labour commissioner or the Assistant Labour commissioner; you should check with the Labour department of your State.
I do not understand the meaning of MCOP. I think you want to say MACT (Motor Accident Claims Tribunal) who normally is the District Judge. That petition for compensation lies before him under the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988.
