Section 140 of MVA : Section 140: Omitted

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a pedestrian, Raj, is walking along a designated pedestrian zone when suddenly a car veers off the road and hits him. Raj sustains injuries from the accident. Previously, under Section 140 of The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, Raj would have been entitled to claim compensation from the owner of the vehicle on a 'no-fault' basis, meaning he wouldn't need to prove the driver's negligence to receive compensation for his injuries. However, since this section was omitted with effect from April 1, 2022, this 'no-fault' liability no longer applies, and Raj may now have to prove the driver's fault or negligence to claim compensation, depending on the current applicable laws and regulations.
