The advantages underlying the settlements at the Lok Adalats are obvious, not
only for the victim families but also for the Insurance Companies/Roadways Corporation
and infact for the system. If 10,000 MAC Claims are settled through compromise, nearly
half, about 5,000 appeals are prevented from coming to the High Court.
A letter about this matter was written by me to the Hon'ble Chief Justice, a copy
thereof is enclosed for reference. I had the privilege of meeting the Hon'ble Chief Justice
when he was at Lucknow on July 24, 1995. Amongst other matters, I mentioned about
this proposal and he was pleased to agree that as an experiment this work can be taken up
in some districts.
It is requested that this matter may be placed before the Hon'ble Chief Justice and
he may very kindly give 'green signal' in this respect. The District Judges of the specified
districts may then be advised and directed to do the needful and co - ordinate with us.
Once the 'green signal' is given, we will take up the work in these districts and organise
Lok Adalats in the coming months of the current financial year. We should be able to
ensure requisite co-operation of the Insurance Companies/Roadways Corporation in this
work and I feel reasonably confident that we should be able to achieve commendable
results.

amount to the party concerned.

I am therefore, to request you kindly to take further necessary actions in this

Guidelines in respect of Motor Accident Claims Cases
C.L. No. 48/2006 Dated 1st November, 2006
It has been noticed by the Hon'ble Court that the Judicial Officers exercising
power of Motor Accident Claims Tribunal are passing non-speaking orders without
248
following the legal norms. Hon'ble Court has given the following directions for
compliance:-
1-
All the District Judges While assessing the work of all the Additional
District Judges (Motor Accident Claims Tribunals), for recording their
annual confidential remarks, they should minutely scrutinize some of the
records of the Motor Accident Claims cases decided by them during the
relevant year related to death/injury to make sure that orders regarding the
deposit of part of the awarded compensation in nationalized banks for
certain length of time are passed for valid and sustainable reasons, and not
whimsically simply to harass the claims(s).
2-
All the District Judges Additional District Judges working as Motor
Accident Claims Tribunals Shall adhere to the settled legal norms while
awarding compensation. Further, award should be well reasoned, instead
of being non-speaking, sketchy or perfunctory.
3-
All the District Judges should also monitor this matter in the monthly
meetings of the Judicial Officers for strict compliance as mentioned at
serial no.1&2.
4-
All the District Judges are further directed to record the performance of
the officer with regard to decision of Motor Accident Claims related to
death/injury in Annual Confidential Remarks as amended in column no.

under your administrative control to abide by the above directions of the Hon'ble Court
in right earnest.
