From a perusal of the aforesaid two provisions, it is established that the word person has been used and a claim petition can be filed on account of death or injury of any person or damage of the property. However, in the instant case, the claim petition is found to have been filed on account of death of dog, which does not fall either under the definition of "person" or "property". In this view of the matter, the claim petition filed by the claimant was not at all maintainable under Sec. 140 and 166 of MV Act. {Para 7}
