Reported in: 1997ACJ644; ILR1996KAR2867; 1996(5)KarLJ442

S.A. Hakeem, J.1. These appeals are by the insurance Company challenging the finding and order of the Tribunal fixing its liability in respect of the accident.2. It is not disputed that the vehicle involved in the accident, namely CAK 1887, was insured for the period 8.11.1986 to 7.11.1987. The accident in question occurred on 11.3.1987, out of which several claims by the passengers travelling in the said vehicle have arisen. The contention taken by the appellant before the Tribunal as well as in this appeal is that since the bus in question did not have a valid permit to ply on the road, there is violation of the terms of the policy, and as such, no liability can be foisted upon it in respect of the accident involving the vehicle. The copy of the Insurance policy, which is not disputed is produced and marked as Ex.R-1 through RW-1.

Reported in: 1996ACJ945; ILR1995KAR3520; 1996(5)KarLJ289

Hakeem, J.1. This Appeal is filed by the owner of the motor vehicle involved in the accident, against the quantum of compensation awarded by the Tribunal to the L.Rs. of one S.V.Uppin who died in the accident on 22.3.89.2. The occurrence of the accident and the actionable negligence on the part of the driver of the vehicle is no more in dispute. Even otherwise there is adequate material on record, which would establish that the accident and the resultant death of S.V.Uppin was on account of the actionable negligence on the part of the driver of the vehicle bearing No. CAI-7769.3. The claimants in turn have preferred their cross objections, seeking enhancement of compensation awarded by the Tribunal, which according to them is grossly inadequate.4. The deceased was a State Government servant, working as an Excise Inspector, drawing a gross salary of Rs. 2,915/- at the time of the accident.
