Reported in: ILR1995KAR3196; 1996(2)KarLJ418

G.C. Bharuka, J.1. This is the defendants' Appeal against a judgment of reversal. Plaintiff had filed the present suit on 7.1.1970 for redemption of the suit schedule property and for recovery of possession.2. Admittedly, plaintiff as owner had created an usufructuary mortgage over the suit property in favour of Gundurap - defendant No. 1 to secure a loan of Rs. 100/- taken by him which is evidenced by a Mortgage Deed dated 2.8.1935 (Exhibit P-1). As a consequence of this transaction defendant No. 1 as mortagee came into possession of the said property. One of the conditions embodied in the said Deed was that if the loan is not paid on expiry of eight years from the date of transaction, the said document will be treated as an absolute Deed of Sale (Shuddha Kraya Ratra). It is not in dispute that the plaintiffs could not redeem the property as per the stipulations in the Mortgage Deed. Consequently, the mortgagee sold the property to late Gujar Mallaiah, father of defendants 2 to 8 unde...

Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. Vs. Shanthi and ors.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Sep-29-1995

Reported in: 1996ACJ495

S.A. Hakeem, J.1. This appeal by the insurer is directed against the judgment and award passed by M.A.C.T. IX, Bangalore, in M.V.C. No. 1097 of 1991. The contest in this appeal is only against the quantum of compensation awarded by the Tribunal, which according to the appellant is excessive. The appellant has also filed an application under Section 170 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, seeking relief to maintain and contest this appeal on all the grounds that are available to the insurer.2. It is not disputed that the owner had duly contested the claim before the Tribunal. The insurance company was also a party therein. However, he has not chosen to file an appeal either against the quantum or in respect of the actionable negligence, which has been held against him. A bald averment is made in the affidavit that the insured had colluded with the claimants and hence not come forward to contest the award. This, in our opinion, is not sufficient to entitle the insurer to maintain the appeal...
