- Section 166 of the Motor Vehicle Act serves as a legal recourse for individuals who have experienced harm due to the negligent or wrongful actions of motor vehicle owners or drivers, allowing them to claim the compensation they deserve.

- It means that it is not a criminal trial , and hence not necessary to show in the passport application.

Dear Client,

An accident claims under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, is a civil matter pertaining to compensation for damages or injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Whereas, The passport application form requires the disclosure of criminal records and pending criminal cases. Since an accident claim under Section 166 is a civil matter, it does not fall under the category of criminal proceedings. Therefore, it is not required to be disclosed in the section of the passport application that asks about criminal cases. Should you require any further clarification or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
