SC issues guidelines for disbursal of unclaimed compensation lying with MAC Tribunals

New Delhi, Apr 23 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Wednesday took suo motu cognisance of large sums of unclaimed compensation lying with Motor Accident Claims Tribunals (MAC Tribunals) across the country and issued comprehensive procedural guidelines to ensure the timely disbursal of these funds to entitled claimants.
A bench comprising Justice Abhay S. Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan observed that despite compensation being awarded under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923, significant amounts remain unwithdrawn by beneficiaries.
The issue was brought to the Court’s attention through an email from a retired district judge in Gujarat, highlighting the troubling backlog of undisbursed funds.
