UNITED INDIA INSURANCE COMPANY Vs. BHURAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE impugned Award of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal granting Rs. 1,00,000/- as compensation to the widow and children of Kali Ram deceased, who was killed when his tractor was involved in an accident with the truck HYF-2377 coming from the opposite direction, warrants no interference in appeal. The said accident occurred on the Jhajjar-Rohtak Road on April 3,1982. It was the finding of the Tribunal that the accident had been caused entirely due to the rash and negligent driving of the truck-driver.

(2.) THE short point raised in appeal is with regard to the liability of the Insurance Company for payment of the entire amount, awarded as compensation to the claimants. The pica sought to be put-forth on behalf of the Insurance company being that its liability is limited to Rs. 50,000/- A reference to the return filed on behalf of the Insurance Company would show that no pica had been raised therein to the effect that its liability was limited to Rs. 50,000/- nor docs the copy of the Insurance Policy on record show any limitation in its liability.
