Therefore, I am to send herewith a copy of the order passed by the Hon'ble Court
in the above mentioned writ Petition with direction that the same be circulated among all
the Judges presiding over the Motor Accident claims Tribunals under your supervisory
control for their guidance and necessary action.
(ii)
Expeditious disposal of cases.
C.L No. 4/Admn. (A), dated January, 1990
It is a matter of common knowledge that a large number of cases for payment of
compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act are pending in each District. These cases
from their very nature require expeditious decision.
You can realise the agony of the parties by long delay in disposal of these cases.
It is only in the fitness of things that compensation to the injured should be provided
without undue delay. It is also in the interest of the Insurance Companies that such
disputes are settled quickly. These cases do not take long in disposal. The difficulty is
that in the absence of dates being fixed for hearing, they pile up and go on accumulating.
You may consider the desirability of distributing such cases amongst Additional
District Judges and at least ten cases per court should be got ready. Counsel for Insurance
Companies should also be requested for co-operation. It is true that private owners of
vehicles are also entitled to be heard, but the aforesaid suggestions are worth attempting
and will go a long way in quicker disposal of cases.
(iii)
Instructions of Hon'ble Mr. Justice B.L. Loomba, Executive Chairman, U.P.,
Legal Aid & Advice Board relating to achieve commandable results in
disposal of Motor Accident Compensation Claims (MAC. Claims) through
Lok Adalat in U.P. in his letter No. D.O. No. 152/PS/LAAB/ 177-A/91 dated
3.8.1995.
C.L. No. 35/VIId-108/Admn. 'G', dated September 5,1995

I am directed to send herewith a copy of D.O. No. 152/PS/LAAB/177-A/91 dated
3.8.95 of Hon'ble Mr. Justice B.L.Loomba, Executive Chairman, U.P. Legal Aid &
Advice Board on the above subject for compliance.
I am, further to request you kindly to bring the instructions contained in the
aforesaid letter to the notice of all concerned.
D.O. No. 152/PS/L.AAB/177-A/91 of Justice B.L. Loomba (Retd), Executive
Chairman, U.P. LEGAL AID & ADVICE BOARD, Jawaher Bhawan Lucknow, dated
August 3, 1995.
A copy of the statement received from the 'CILAS' which gives comparable
figures of disposal of Motor Accident Compensation Claims (MAC Claims) through Lok
Adalats in the various States of the country is enclosed. As would appear there from, such
disposal in this State is far below of what it is in the states like Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat,
Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh & Tamil Nadu. No doubt, total disposal of cases of all these
categories put together through Lok Adalats in this State is highest in the country,
nevertheless a lot more needs to be done in regard to MAC Claims and this is what is
occasionally pointed out to us by the 'CILAS' a1so.
