The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, as also, the High Court, ordered a deduction therefrom of a sum of ` 3,26,140 (paid to the claimants under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923). The said deduction gives full effect to Section 167 of the Motor Vehicles Act. 1988, inasmuch as it awards compensation to the respondents-claimants under the enactment based on the option first exercised, and also ensures that the respondents-claimants are not allowed dual benefit under the two enactments.
