'arbitrary' the fact would remain that judges are substituting their own judgment of what is right and proper and reasonable and just for that of the legislature; and up to a point that, i think, is inevitable when a judge is called upon to crystallise a vague generality like article 14 into a concrete concept'.29. ..... we are of the view that while considering the direct and inevitable consequences, on a right, the substance of the said right ..... the object and subject matter of the state action but in testing the validity of the state action with reference to fundamental rights, what the court must consider is the direct and inevitable consequence of the state action. ..... the direct and inevitable consequence of the state action on the fundamental rights of any person has to be the basic test to be applied in .....

Court : Karnataka

Reported in : I(1997)ACC330; 1998ACJ18; ILR1997KAR148

..... if the evidence in respect of transfer is accepted, then the legal consequences would follow in so far as the policy would lapse and therefore, a situation would arise where-under even though the accident has taken place as late as on 13.11.1989 the insurance policy would still be no valid cover in respect of that vehicle. ..... one possible contention is that after 1.7.1989, once the new act has come into force, all incidents or accidents as they may be termed would be covered by the terms of the new act. ..... matter, that it would be equally necessary that no transfer of the vehicle should have taken place in respect of an existing policy prior to 1.7.1989 because if such a transfer has taken place then the consequences as indicated above would inevitably result.3. ..... he thereafter filed a claim before the motor accident claims tribunal for compensation. ..... has been preferred by the insurance company and is directed against an order dated 17.8.91 of the motor accident claims tribunal, bangalore city in m.v.c. ..... i need to record, that the consequences of the owner disclaiming the ownership of the vehicle after an accident are rather grave. .....

Court : Karnataka Dharwad

..... faces such litigation day in and day out, indulges in such frivolous and cantankerous stands, only to avoid the liability resulting in harassment and ordeal to the victims who not only suffer due to accidents involving motor vehicles on public roads, but suffer thereafter also due to such adamant attitude on the part of the insurance company. 10. ..... for our purpose, it is suffice to hold that the licence held by the driver of the vehicle involved in the present accident was one which enabled the driver to drive an autorikshaw also, being a motorcab- a vehicle constructed and designed to carry three ..... if a person is authorized to drive a transport vehicle, it inevitably amounts that the license also permits the holder of the license to drive a motorcab like the autocab, that the license is also authorized to drive a motorcab apart from the variety of other vehicle as noticed ..... the appeal is thoroughly meritless and deserves to be dismissed by levying commensurate costs on the appellant-insurance company to discourage such a tendency and to prevent such ordeal and harassment being meted out to poor victims of accidents involving motor vehicles, being used on public roads. 14. ..... in the present case, the accident occurred on 13-11-2005 and more than five years ..... -insurance company virtually defeats the very purpose and object of the act, as a just compensation as is determined by a competent tribunal is not made available to the victims even after many years from the date of accident. 11. .....
