CHAND MOHD Vs. GENDMAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) AN application for compensation, arising out of a Motor accident, was filed before the Tribunal u/s 110-A of the Motor Vehicles Act. During the pendency of that application, the claimants also filed an application for award of compensation u/s 92-A, on the principle of no fault enacted therein,

(2.) THE Motor accident, giving rise to the claim, took place on 8.12.82. THE application u/s 92-A was filed on 2.11.85 during the pendency of the claim petition as earlier stated. An objection was raised on the ground of limitation, contending that the application u/s 92-A was time barred since it was not riled within six months of the occurrence of the accident. This contention was based on the arguments that the limitation of six months prescribed in sub-s.(3) of S. 110-A for a claim application made under sub-s. (1) thereof, was also applicable to an application for compensation u/s 92-A on the principle of no fault. This argument was rejected by the Tribunal and thereafter also by a learned Single Judge of this Court. THE same argument is advanced in support of this appeal.
