There is no limitation for filing claim petition Under M.V.Act. Lr's of the deceased are third parties to the claim. Since the driver of the car is a minor and not having a valid DL, the Tribunal may order pay and recovery against the Insurance Company. The Insurance Company after satisfying the decree will take steps to recover the amount from the insured i.e owner of the car.
