Section 166 Motor Vehicles Act | Unauthenticated Salary Slips & Google Translate Translations Insufficient to Prove Foreign Income for Compensation : Punjab & Haryana HC

The court also clarified that unmarried siblings may claim dependency benefits unless disproven, reinforcing the need for strict documentary verification under the Motor Vehicles Act.
