The motor vehicles (amendment) bill, 2016

Thanks for dharing the information

Views of entire stake holders has to be considered for a better understanding.  Unless the preamble for brining such enactment is properly studied it is difficult to come to a conclusion.  There should be a ceiling for any claim and that must be transparent and clear.  Now the victims's family, the insurance officer, the mediating agency are making exorbitant claims, more than the real eligibility.  There are compromises as the compensation is from a Govt. Agency (Insured).   Every Act may be having teething problems initially, and once it comes into force, there is a scope for amendements considering the representations and practical difficulties.  There is a need for enactment as this may caution against reckless and rash driving and a certain fear will be instilled in such drivers.   Now the owner may also contemplate to cover up additional funds, if he requires for more insurance cover.  (The maximum cover by company may be Rs.10 lakhs and the vehicle owner may pay extra premium if he wanted to cover extra rsk amount, just like health insurance)

The insurer and the insured are the first two parties and anyone who has a claim on these two is the third party. It is not the owner and the driver the first two parties. If the liability to pay compensation is limited to Rs.10 lakhs, it is 10 lakhs only. Where is the question of excess liability coming on the owner?

So far the new amendment of the MV Bill is concerned only the Insurance Companies will get the extra benefits as now a days they collects huge amount on 3rd pary insurance also as the Govt. has paved them the way to earn huge amount which is beyond the interest of the citizens of the county. We must be united to raise voice and send Memorandums and appeals to the Central Govt to abstain from this amendment in this way by imposing extra burden on the owner of the Motor car. So we must do for the same for the sake of justice to the mass people and the concerned law must be clear enough and Govt must take steps to aware the common masses the clear concept and easy rules of the law and there should be proper and real inquiry on each and every accident by the reputed and moral legal personnels appointed by the Govt. in order to reduce the illegal manner and readymade reports concocted tempted and doctored statements of any type of incident for the sake of real and practical judgement to issue orders to provide the legal benefits to the victims of the accident. Mere amendment of the act can not provide justice to the victims unless the concerned officers are moral and sincere.

currently person earning Rs.3000 claim amount nearly Rs.10 lakh so entire burdon of excess will be on owner.   secondly they totally skipped away labourers and workers so their heirs will get nothing  For details please go to  link
