M.A.C.A. No.141 of 2004 .................................................................... Dated this the 24th day of September, 2008. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. The appeal is filed challenging the award declining to grant compensation for the death of husband of the first appellant who is the father of the remaining appellants. The claim petition was filed under Section 163A of the Motor Vehicles Act. The deceased while driving his own motorbike got into an accident which led to his death. Admittedly the policy does not cover the owner of the vehicle and so much so, MACT rightly declined to grant compensation. We find no ground to interfere with the award of the MACT. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge HARUN-UL-RASHID Judge pms
