In my opinion no case under MAC is made out. However if the murdered person was employed with the vehicle owner a claim under WC Act could lie.

Plz. tell me the complete facts of the case. Although I'm agree with Mr. Harbhajan Thukraal but there is some lacuna to fill up. So tell me the all facts of the case,

If it is proved that a crime of murder was committed through an accident then it is purely a criminal case. No claim made out in MAC. However the legal heir of the victim is entitled to get compensation from the accused not from the insurance Company.

A passenger was murdered inside a vehicle by his co-passenger: Question is whether it is only a case of murder or it also covers MACT case.

It is simply a case of murder & should not be covered under under MACT case.
