Section 166 MV Act | Typographical Errors in Accident Date Do Not Invalidate Compensation Claims : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that minor typographical errors, such as an incorrect accident date in a claim petition, cannot defeat compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act if corroborated by FIR, medical reports, and police records. The court emphasized the Act's humanitarian intent, ensuring victims receive just compensation based on preponderance of evidence rather than procedural technicalities.
