Court: Delhi

Decided on: Sep-13-1993

Reported in: I(1995)ACC330

P.K. Bahri, J.1. This appeal is brought by Delhi Transport Corporation against Order dated 25.5.1981 of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal by which it has awarded Rs. 50,000/- to the claimants along with interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum from the date of the award till realisation.2. The only question which has been argued before me by learned Counsel for the appellant is that the finding of the Tribunal that the accident had occurred on account of rash and negligent driving of the driver of the bus of the appellant is not correct. She has argued that the only star-witness of the claimants, P.W. 2, Sham Lai, had turned hostile while giving testimony in the criminal Court where the driver of the bus was prosecuted and thus no reliance could have been placed on his testimony given before the Tribunal.3. It has been contended on behalf of the respondents that the testimony given in the criminal Court is not to be taken note of and particularly when Sham Lai was not confronted ...

P.K. Bhari, J.1. This appeal is directed against the order of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal dated February 28, 1981, awarding Rs. 33,960/- as compensation to the claimants.2. Only on one point the order is challenged i.e. the Tribunal was legally not right in reaching the finding that the accident had occurred due to rash and negligent driving of Sh.

Admittedly, on June 18, 1976, at about 11.50 p.m. when the deceased Mohan Lal Grover, who was aged about 50 years, was crossing the West Patel Nagar Road for going to his house that the police van bearing registration No. DHA 6922 being driven by Constable Ishwar Singh is stated to have come at a very high speed and struck against the deceased when he had already crossed a major portion of the road.3.
