Which enactment provides for compensation to the victim of a road accident without going into the question of fault?

Under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, compensation for death or grievous hurt in a road accident is payable without the claimant having to prove anyone's wrongful act, neglect or default (now section 164, in force since 1 April 2022; earlier sections 140 and 163A). The Fatal Accidents Act, 1855 requires a wrongful act, neglect or default, and the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 (later the Employees' Compensation Act, now subsumed in the Code on Social Security, 2020) covered injuries at work rather than road accident victims generally.
