( 1 ) legal heirs of your uncle (wife and two sons ) can file petition u/sec 166/140 M V Act for compensation against Insurance company ( where your uncle's scooter is insured )

( 2 ) LIC policy not required , Scooter's insurance policy required.

here 2 things has to be noted.

If vehicle owner is third party - then TP claim( MACT) has to be raised against vehicle Insurance company.

If Vehicle owner is Your uncle - then MACT has to be filed.

There is no Limit for compensation, it all depends on his Income.

Note : This is not legal opinion, I have handled motor claims for 10 years, based on my limited knowledge, have given my opinion.
