MACT DARKHAST – recovery of the award amount

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

You can make an application to the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal under Section 174 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and the amount can be recovered from the person concerned (against whom award is passed) by the Collector as an arrear of land revenue. This section is as under:

“174. Recovery of money from insurer as arrear of land revenue.—Where any amount is due from any person under an award, the Claims Tribunal may, on an application made to it by the person entitled to the amount, issue a certificate for the amount to the Collector and the Collector shall proceed to recover the same in the same manner as an arrear of land revenue.”
