Quick Summary

The Karnataka High Court has ruled that a third party's statutory right to compensation under Section 149 of the Motor Vehicles Act is protected, even if the vehicle owner contests the claim. The court emphasised that the primary consideration should be safeguarding victims of motor accidents. Therefore, an insurance company must pay the compensation to the victim and can then seek recovery from the vehicle owner.
