UNITED INDIA INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED Vs. SHIV SHANKAR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal has been preferred by appellant United India Insurance Company on the ground that vehicle, which is said to be involved in accident, was actually not involved and claimant injured received injuries due to his falling from stairs, as has been disclosed in bed-head-ticket (Exhibit D-1). Learned counsel argued that first information report also lodged with delay of 15 days and that despite injured having sustained 7.5% permanent disability, award of compensation of Rs.1,15,126/- cannot be justified.

(2.) IT was argued that signatures of Ashok, brother of injured, were obtained on bed-head-ticket and their authenticity and genuineness on said bed-head-ticket, in which injuries have been mentioned by doctor, cannot be doubted. Exhibit-6, which is mechanical inspection report of vehicle in question, also does not show major dent or damage thereto so as to probabilize version of claimant that tempo turned turtle and injured, who was travelling therein, received injuries.
