            UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
                               O R D E R

1. We heard Mr. Gaurav Agrawal, the leaned Amicus, and Mr.

K.C.Jain, the learned applicant appearing in person. On the

SPONSORED

other hand, we heard Mr. Neeraj Kishan Kaul, the learned senior

counsel appearing for the General Insurance Companies Counsel

7
Writ Petition(Civil) No. 295/2012

assisted by learned counsel Mr. Raghav Agarwal and Ms. Ankita

Chaudhary, respectively and Ms. Ruchira Goel, the learned

counsel appearing for the State of U.P.

2. Today, we have before us the report of the Supreme Court

Committee dated 06.04.2026, and the note of learned Amicus.

3. It appears that in due deference to the order passed by

this Court dated 20.11.2025 in Writ Petition (C)No. 295 of 2012,

the Committee held a preliminary meeting on 24.11.2025. The

views of the Committee as expressed in the report read thus:

“29. The Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety after
conducting various meetings with the relevant stakeholders
wishes to highlight certain aspects relating to the
application.

30. The application focuses on Section 162 of the Motor
Vehicles Act, 1988 and the need to have a capless limit on
medical expenses. One must, therefore, look at the
legislative framework of the Act. Chapter XI of the Act
deals with “Insurance of Motor Vehicles against Third
Party Risks”.

31. It is important to highlight Section 147(2) of the
M.V. Act. The section provides for limit on liability for
third party insurance. Specifically, it states “the

8
Writ Petition(Civil) No. 295/2012

Central Government shall prescribe a base premium and the
liability of an insurer in relation to such premium for an
insurance policy under sub-section (1) in consultation
with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority.”
Therefore, it is permissible to have certain limits on the
liability borne by insurers for third party insurance. The
Committee, therefore, further wrote to DFS and MORTH for
their views on the said section.

32. DFS has stated that Third Party Insurance Liability
cannot be uncapped. The General Insurance Companies have
pointed out the burden uncapped Third Party Insurance has
created. Unlike Air or Railway accident compensation,
motor vehicle accidents burden is not capped. DFS has
repeatedly written to MoRTH for notifying the cap mandated
by Section 147(2). However, MoRTH has not yet notified any
cap. MoRTH has sent a reply on 30th March, 2026. Copy of
letter of MoRTH dated 30th March, 2026 is annexed as
Annexure-K.

33. The Committee wishes to highlight that the cashless
treatment scheme was introduced to ensure that road
accident victims are not left without any means of
accessing medical care immediately after the accident. The
cap on the amount of Rs.1.5 lakh/ 7 days has been
introduced after due deliberations and is not arbitrary or
under inclusive and at same time ensures that there is no
misuse by fraudulent claim.

34. The Committee has directed MoRTH to monitor the
initial feedback of the Scheme. As and when, it is felt

9
Writ Petition(Civil) No. 295/2012

that a higher amount would be needed to cover medical
expenses arising from such accidents, the same shall be
increased. At this stage as the Scheme is in its nascent
stage for its implementation, MoRTH will be collecting
feedback on regular basis from all States with a view to
ascertain whether the Scheme is functioning smoothly and
efficiently by providing proper treatment or whether there
arise a need to enhance the cap to a higher limit than
what is presently provided in the Scheme.”

4. The final conclusion drawn by the Committee in its report,

referred to above, reads thus:

“1) The Committee after careful deliberation with all
the relevant stakeholders is of the considered
opinion that

a) The Cashless Treatment Scheme is a recently
introduced scheme. The Scheme is still in its nascent
stages. The Scheme was formulated following the pilot
project and the feedback received thereof. The Scheme
is a step towards ensuring timely medical care to
road accident victims.

b) The Applicant raises an important issue and one
that will require constant monitoring to ensure that
road accident victims are not denied medical care.

c) This Committee is of the opinion that as the pilot
project indicated that 98.64% of all road accident

10
Writ Petition(Civil) No. 295/2012

victims utilized less than Rs.60,000/- on medical
expenses. However, as a measure of abundant caution
and to ensure that the scheme covers as many
individuals as possible, the financial limit is
presently is capped at Rs 1.5 Lakh DFS has also
indicated that the Scheme may be unviable if it is
uncapped and, therefore, any such Scheme has to have
capping/ceiling The resources have to be best
utilized for the larger public good and there is a
need to safeguard against non-road accident cases
and/or fraudulent claims.

d) Most importantly, the Committee finds that the
cashless treatment Scheme does not stop any road
accident victim to ensure benefits of other Schemes
in force. A road accident victim may be catered to by
multiple Schemes of the Central or State Government
for which they are eligible. The Cashless Treatment
Scheme was introduced to ensure that no road accident
victim is denied medical care during the crucial
‘Golden Hour’ period.

e)This Committee also requested the MORTH LO update
the cap of Rs.1.5 Lakh as and when the feedback from
the scheme indicates the same. The MoRTH as mentioned
above is actively monitoring the Scheme in its
initial roll out phase. The MoRTH is cognizant that
the Scheme limit may reconsidered based on the
feedback of the rollout This Committee also requested
the MORTH LO update the cap of Rs.1.5 Lakh as and
when the feedback from the scheme indicates the same.

11

Writ Petition(Civil) No. 295/2012

The MoRTH as mentioned above is actively monitoring
the Scheme in its initial roll out phase. The MoRTH
is cognizant that the Scheme limit may reconsidered
based on the feedback of the rollout

f) Depending upon the trutial feedback received from
all the States on the implementation of the Scheme in
next six months or 1 year, the issue question can be
re-examined in better perspective.

g) The Committee will constantly monitor and
evaluate the implementation of the Scheme by calling
periodical reports from holders/States, through
MORTH. to see that no injustice is done to any
innocent victim and will keep submitting its views to
the Hon’ble Supreme Court for passing appropriate
orders depending upon the actual feedback received
from the States. Indeed, this was also the request
made by all stakeholders, who participated in the
deliberations.

h) In fact, further data would be required and from
the manner of implementation and the feedback
received, it can be considered as to in what manner,
the time period of treatment may be extended, the
linkages required to access medical aid to road
accident victims in government hospitals, and prevent
misuse of the scheme for treatment not related to
road accidents at all. A reasonable balance would
have to be struck, going forward.

12

Writ Petition(Civil) No. 295/2012

(2) The Committee considers proper to place on record
that in all the meetings that were held by the.

Committee, it was throughout observed that all
stakeholders representatives were unanimous on one
issue namely that the object of the Act and the
Schemes being for the public good to save the life of
victim immediately after the occurrence of the
accident, this objective will not be compromised and
all efforts, including changes that may be required
from time to time to fulfill this laudable objective,
would be carried out as per the directives of the
Hon’ble Supreme Court, without any delay.

5. What we have been able to gather from the report of the

Committee is that the Cashless Treatment Scheme is at a very

nascent stage. The scheme is a step towards ensuring the timely

medical care to road accident victims.

6. What is important to note is that the committee has requested

the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (for short, “the

MoRTH) to update the cap of Rs.1.5 Lakh as and when the feedback

from the scheme indicates the same. The Morth has also been

actively monitoring the scheme in its initial rollout phase.

7. The Committee in its report has informed that it would

13
Writ Petition(Civil) No. 295/2012

constantly monitor and evaluate the implementation of the scheme

by calling periodical reports from all stakeholders/states

through MoRTH. Once some concrete material comes on record as

regards the functioning of the scheme the cap issue would also

be determined accordingly.

8. The learned Amicus would also like to look into the aforesaid

aspect and offer his suggestions to the Committee including this

Court. The General Insurance counsel shall also put forward

their suggestions before the Committee.

9. At this stage, Mr. Jain, appearing in person, brought to

our notice two provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, i.e.,

Sections 162(1) and (2), respectively. This will also be looked

into by the learned Amicus and the learned Amicus offer his

comments on the same.

10. Insofar as the aforesaid issue is concerned, we leave it to

the learned Amicus to come back to us by mentioning the matter.

11. We also looked into the affidavit filed on behalf of the

State of U.P. duly affirmed by the Special Secretary, Home

Department. In the affidavit the following has been stated.:-

“I, Rakesh Kumar Malpani, S/o Shri Radhey Shyam Malpani,
