In case of motor accident claim case, if there is no insurance policy then the owner will be made liable for payment.
If the owner is not able to pay then you may file a petition for arrest and lodging him in a civil jail, that time the expenses are to be borne by you.
1. If the civil court orders him to pay the compensation, and he is unable to comply it, he may be sent to jail by the court. This is the maximum that the court can do. This will be preceded by attachment of his properties, if any, to recover the decreed amount.
2. You do not have to pay him anything for being in jail.
3. No money is to be paid to the court to claim compensation, you have to only pay the fee of your lawyer.
Dear Querist
If the vehicle was not insured then only the driver will be liable to pay otherwise not.
If the court pass an order for claim against the driver who has nothing then court have no other option except sending him to jail and in this senerio you have to pay diet money for him as per rule which is Rs. 38 per day in Delhi.
