Decided on: Jan-07-1969

Reported in: (1970)2MLJ189

T. Ramaprasada Rao, J.1. The civil revision petition and the appeal can be dealt together. The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Chingleput, heard the petitions of the widow and mother of a deceased person by name Ramadoss who was involved in a fatal accident on 5th October, 1965, when he was travelling in the jeep belonging to the Corporation of Madras. It is common ground that Ramadoss was travelling in the said jeep not in the capacity as a workman of the Corporation of Madras, but as a person who was allowed to board the jeep for being carried from one place to another with the consent of one of the officers of the Corporation. No doubt Ramadoss, was an employee of the Corporation of Madras. But, at the time when he was travelling in the jeep, it cannot be said that he was in the course of the employment of the Corporation of Madras.2. As the accident referred to above resulted in the death of Ramadoss, his widow Susila and his mother Jayammal filed petitions before the Motor Accide...
