  "summary": "The Supreme Court has ruled that the mere presence of a vehicle in the chain of events leading to a murder cannot automatically entitle a victim's family to compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act (MVA). In a case where the deceased was killed while travelling in a car driven by a known individual, the court held that a causal link between the use of the motor vehicle and the death must be established. Without such a link, compensation cannot be awarded under the MVA. The court emphasized that the claimant must prove that the death or injury was caused by the vehicle's use, rather than relying on the vehicle's mere presence in the circumstances surrounding the crime.",
