Frequently Asked Questionsसामान्य प्रश्न एवं उत्तर
Key documents for an MACT claim include: FIR copy, post-mortem report (in death cases) or medical records (injury cases), driving licence and RC of offending vehicle, insurance policy details, income proof of deceased/injured (salary slips, ITR), age proof, photographs of accident spot/vehicle, and witness statements. A police final report (challan) is also useful. The tribunal may direct production of further documents during proceedings.
Mutual consent divorce under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 requires both parties to jointly agree that the marriage has irretrievably broken down. The petition is filed jointly, followed by a 6-month cooling-off period (which courts can waive in genuine cases — per Supreme Court in Amardeep Singh, 2017), after which a second motion is filed and the decree is passed. The entire process typically takes 6 to 18 months depending on the court's schedule.
Under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 — a MACT claim should be filed within 6 months of the accident. However, the Tribunal has discretion to condone delay on sufficient cause being shown. In practice, courts regularly condone delays in genuine accident cases, especially where the claimant was unaware of the limitation period or was incapacitated by injuries.
Anticipatory bail (Section 482 BNSS / Section 438 CrPC) may be granted considering: the nature and gravity of the accusation, the antecedents of the applicant, the possibility of the applicant fleeing justice, and whether the accusation appears to be made with intent to humiliate. The court may impose conditions — including surrender of passport, not leaving the country, and regular appearance before the investigating officer.
