Where the death of, or bodily injury to, any person gives rise to a claim for compensation under Motor…

Section 167 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 allows a claimant, where the same death or injury attracts both Acts, to claim compensation "under either of those Acts", but not "under both the Acts". Section 167 still names the Employees' Compensation Act, 1923, which has been subsumed in the Code on Social Security, 2020 (in force from 21 November 2025); under section 8 of the General Clauses Act, 1897 the reference is read as one to the corresponding provisions of the Code.
