Unclaimed compensation lying with MACTs & labour courts a pan-India issue: SC

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of unclaimed compensation lying with Motor Accident Claims Tribunals and labour courts nationwide. Justices Oka and Masih highlighted the significant amounts remaining uncollected and questioned why rightful claimants were not coming forward. The Court initiated a suo motu writ petition based on an email from a retired Gujarat judge, focusing on the Rs 2,000 crore unclaimed in Gujarat alone. Further actions and discussions are scheduled for September 2.
