accident, injuries, age, income and dependents of the deceased victim and
in determining the quantum of compensation.
The aforesaid directions to the Tribunals are without prejudice to the discretion of
each Tribunal to follow such summary procedure as it deems fit as provided under
Section 169 of the Act. Many Tribunals instead of holding an inquiry into the claim by
following suitable summary procedure, as mandated by Section 168 and 169 of the Act,
tend to conduct motor accident cases like regular civil suits. This should be avoided. The
Tribunal shall take an active role in deciding and expeditious disposal of the applications
for compensation and make effective use of Section 165 of the Evident Act, 1872, to
determine the just compensation.
Therefore, I have been directed to request you to kindly circulate a copy of this
circular letter to all the Judicial Officers in the judgeship under your supervision and
control for their information, necessary action and compliance.
