Twarit Sukh: SC directs to pay compensation to the victims of uninsured vehicle accidents

All states must allow uninsured vehicles involved in accidents to be auctioned, to pay compensation to the victims, the Supreme Court ordered on Thursday. The states were given 12 weeks to amend their rules under the Motor Vehicles Act to this effect.<br />The auction\'s proceeds should be deposited with the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT), as per the order. Currently, Delhi is the only state that follows this rule.<br />Under the MACT Act, compensation is awarded after determining factors like the income of the deceased, the deduction to be made towards the personal living expenses of the deceased, and the multiplier to be applied with reference to the age of the deceased.
