This query is : Resolved
My client's costly car was hit by a tipper in a Highway . The loss is estimated at Rs 6,00,0000/- .There is no personal injury involved. My query is for the damage caused to the vehicle can MACOP be filed or a original suit for damages should be filed. Any relevant case laws ?

You have to file MVC case in MACT claiming damages against the truck owner and truck ins., co.,

The law says when there is a Tribunal or any special Court is established all cases related to it should be filed there only and no other court has the jurisdiction. You may file a case under Motor Vehicle Act u/s 140 for NFL and S.166 for final compensation.

I think, the Limit of Property Damage Claim undet the M.V.Act, 1988 is only upto a maximum of Rs.6000/- . Why not a claim be advanced against the insurer of the Car only !!! As the risk of the of the damage ought to have been covered by the insurer !!
