.s 163-A is not applicable to your case.you should file a petition under the provision for hit and run cases in which a fixed amount is awarded.

If an accident occurs while using a motor vehicle one can file a claim (it does matter that it was one on which you yourself were riding or it is others). If there is no bodies negligence you can claim under s 140 if there is any bodys fault you can claim under s 140 and as well as under 166 of m v act. If it is not possible to prove a fault but you want claim without proof of so you can file claim u/S 163 A. so you can file claim against the insurer only (or against owner also)of the vehicle you were driving at the time of accident. If you were not on a vehicle and a vehicle run away be hitting you, claim is possible under s 161 of M V Act.

U cannot file a petition without the person against whom u r claiming. U have to file a petition before the assistant commissioner( in our state Karnataka it is the procedure) as hit and run case.
