Reported in: 2006(6)KarLJ266

K. Ramanna, J.1. This is an appeal filed by the appellant-plaintiff under Section 96 of the C.P.C. against the judgment and decree dated 8.9.1999 passed by the XXVI Addl. City Civil Judge, Mayohall, Bangalore, whereby the suit filed by the appellant-plaintiff came to be dismissed. Therefore, he has come up with this appeal mainly on the ground that the court below failed to take into account the copies of the telex correspondence exchanged between the appellant-plaintiff and respondent-defendant and the court below has erred in not accepting the copies of the telex messages/correspondences as they are carbon copies, and that the alleged privity of contract has not been established by the appellant-plaintiff. Even though the defendant did not choose to cross-examine the plaintiff and did not adduce oral evidence to prove issue Nos. 4 and 5, the court below come to a wrong conclusion by holding that plaintiff failed to prove issue Nos. 1 to 3 in dismissing the suit.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jun-04-2004

Reported in: ILR2004KAR3587

ORDERS.R. Bannurmath, J.1. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner is a complainant in P.C.R.No. 12949/03. At the outset, it is made clear that since the plaint filed by the petitioner has been dismissed at the initial stage itself even before issuing process to the accused - respondent, hearing of the respondent is not necessary.

Shrimanti and ors. Vs. Krishna Deva Madiwal and ors.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jun-04-2004

Reported in: 2005ACJ350

S.R. Nayak, J. 20.08.20031. The claimants in a death case, being aggrieved by the impugned judgment and award whereby their claim for compensation has been rejected, have preferred this appeal under Section 173(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (for short, 'the Act'). The Additional Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Chikodi (for short, 'M.A.C.T.'), by the impugned judgment and award, has held that no actionable negligence can be attributed to the driver of the bus involved in the accident. Quite curiously, the M.A.C.T. did not award compensation even under the head 'no fault liability'.2. We have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the judgment of the M.A.C.T. The learned counsel for the appellants would contend that the finding recorded on issue Nos. 1 and 2 with regard to actionable negligence attributed to the driver of the bus is perverse and suffers from vice of non- consideration of evidence on record in a right perspective. According to learned counsel, the evi...
