Shri Varadayya, the learned Counsel appearing for the appellant contended before us that from the recitals in the panchanama as well as in the cross-examination of Kashinath, the only eye witness it is more than clear that the deceased and the tractor were going on the same direction. The deceased was driving the bicycle by catching the truck by one hand. In that process he got a jerk and fell down and therefore the accident took place. It is not possible for us to accept this contention.3. From the evidence of Kashinath, the only eye witness examined by the claimants, it is quite clear that the deceased was coming from the opposite direction, if this is the position then the suggestion made in the crossexamination and the story put up in the written statement is wholly intrust worthy and cannot be accepted.
