Manohar, J. held that reading <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/LoginForDocumentLink\/id684nca\">Section 167 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 <\/a>makes it very clear that option has been given to the claimants to seek compensation either under the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/LoginForDocumentLink\/Snu9Y9Nh\">Employees Compensation Act, 1923<\/a> or the MV Act. They cannot file a claim petition under the provisions of both the Acts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Respondents herein were family members of the deceased who died in a road accident while he was proceeding on a motorcycle. They claimed compensation under Section 163-A of the Motor Vehicles Act. However, the records clearly disclosed that immediately after the death of the deceased, the respondents had filed a compensation petition under the Employees Compensation Act, and the compensation was awarded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Learned counsel appearing for the appellant contended that the wife and children of the deceased had already filed a claim petition before the Commissioner of Employees Compensation. The Tribunal awarded the compensation. However, the claimants again filed one more set of claim petition seeking compensation under the MV Act. According to the learned counsel, there is a clear bar to that in light of Section 167 of the MV Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The learned Judge gave careful consideration to the arguments addressed by both the parties, and held that the claimants are not allowed to avail dual benefit under the above said two enactments. The Court also relied on the decision of the Apex Court in <em>National Insurance Company<\/em> v. <em>Mastan<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/LoginForDocumentLink\/rcpeml8c\">(2006) 2 SCC 641<\/a> which held that Section 167 contains a non-obstante clause providing for such an option notwithstanding anything contained in the 1923 Act. Accordingly the appeal was allowed and the judgment and award passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Mangalore was set aside. [United India Insurance Co. Ltd. v.
