The provision applies only to claimants within the income ceiling of annual income up to Rs. 40,000. In the peculiar facts, the Court used Article 142 to treat the claim as one under Section 140 for adjustment purposes and to permit the Section 166 proceedings to continue, but the declared legal position remained that Sections 163-A and 166 are separate remedies. en-us Thu, 18 Mar 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 15:55:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171292 Section 163-A of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 creates a self-contained, final no-fault compensation scheme under the structured formula, distinct from the fault-based remedy under Section 166, and it is not an interim payment provision with automatic adjustment against a later claim.
