SHAREEF AHMED Vs. SURJO

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD Sri A.D. Saunders, learned counsel for the appellant and Sri S.K. Mehrotra, learned counsel for the Insurance Company.

(2.) THESE are three appeals by the owner of the vehicle against the order dated 30.11.1995. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that under the Insurance Policy apart from premium payable to cover the risk of third party, a separate premium for passengers at Rs.672/ - was paid. Copy of the Insurance Policy is Annexure -1 to the affidavit. The insurance was a comprehensive insurance and there was unlimited liability of the Insurance Company. The Tribunal has erred in fixing the liability of Rs.15,000/ - only on the Insurance Company and the balance amount has been held liable to be paid by the appellant, the owner of the vehicle.

(3.) I have considered rival submissions and I do not find any substance in the argument of learned counsel for the appellant.
