MVC.No.1995/2020, they are taken together for disposal
through this common Judgment.
  SCCH-12                       3      MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



     2.     Brief Facts of both the Petitions: The case of the
petitioners is that, on 17­02­2020 at about 9.15 a.m. they were
crossing     Tumkur­Bengaluru        N.H­48      Road      near
Chikkabidarakallu, Bengaluru, at that time, the rider of
motorcycle bearing Reg.No.KA­04­JZ­6776 (herein after called
as offending vehicle) drove the same with high speed and in a
rash and negligent manner and dashed against the petitioners
and caused accident, as a result of this, the petitioners
sustained grievous injuries. Immediately after the accident the
petitioners were shifted to Premier Sanjeevini hospital, wherein
they have taken treatment as inpatients and spent huge
amount towards treatment and other incidental charges.


     3.    The petitioner of MVC No.1995/2020 was hale and
healthy before the accident and was a Tailor and was earning
Rs.15,000/­ per month and due to the injuries sustained in the
accident and prolonged medical treatment she lost future
earning capacity, for which the petitioner and his family
members have been suffering mentally and physically. Hence
prays to award a compensation of Rs.5,00,000/­ with interest.


     4. The petitioner of MVC 1996/2020 was hale and healthy
before the accident and was a lorry driver and earning an
income of Rs.30,000/­ per month and contributing his income
to his depending family members and due to the injuries
sustained in the accident and prolonged medical treatment and
long bed rest, the petitioner lost his income due to permanent
  SCCH-12                          4       MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



disability and also lost future earning capacity, for which the
petitioner   and   his   family   members    have   been   suffering
mentally,physically as well as financially. Hence prays to award
a compensation of Rs.10,00,000/­ with interest.


        5. The accident was occurred due to negligence of the
rider    of offending vehicle and the Nelamangala traffic Police
have registered the case in Crime No.85/2020 under section
279, 337 of IPC against the rider of offending motorcycle. The
respondent no.1 and 2 are the owner and insurer of the
offending vehicle are jointly and severally liable to pay
compensation to the above petitioners. Hence this petition.


        6. After service of notices the respondent no.1 and 2 have
appeared before this court through their Counsels, but
respondent     No.1   has   not   filed   written   statement.   The
respondent no.2 has filed its written statement.


        7. The respondent no.2 in its written statement has
contended that the claim petitions are not maintainable either
in law or on facts. Further the Respondent no.2 contended that
the owner and the Police have not complied Section 134 (c)
and 158(6) of M.V.Act. Further stated that the respondent no.2
has admitted the issuance of policy to the offending vehicle and
its liability is subject to terms and conditions mentioned in the
policy. Further the respondent no.2 has denied the manner of
accident, the age and avocation, income of the petitioners,
  SCCH-12                       5      MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



injuries sustained by them, treatment taken by them, medical
expenses incurred by them and disability suffered by them.   It
has contended that the rider of offending vehicle was not
holding valid DL at the time of accident and as such, this
respondent is not liable to indemnify the respondent No.1. This
Respondent seeks protection under Section 147 and 149 of
M.V.Act. It is further stated that, in case that, owner of the
vehicle unable to contest the case on all ground apart, this
Respondent shall be permitted to take all defenses available
under Section 170 of M.V.Act to contest the case. It is further
submitted that the amount of compensation claimed by the
petitioners is highly exorbitant and without any basis and
hence, prays to dismiss the claim petitions.

RTO, Nelamanagala is examined as RW­2 and got marked

     11.       Heard the arguments and perused the entire
materials placed on record and my answers to the above
issues are as follows:­
            Issue No.1 in    :       In Partly Affirmative,
            Both the cases
            Issue No.2 in    :       In Partly Affirmative,
            Both the cases
            Issue No.3 in    :       As per final order
            Both the cases            for the following

                             REASONS

     12.     ISSUE NO.1 IN BOTH THE CASES: According to the
petitioners, on 17­02­2020 at about 9.15 a.m. they were
crossing       Tumkur­Bengaluru         N.H­48      Road,     near
Chikkabidarakallu, Bengaluru, at that time, the rider of
motorcycle bearing Reg.No.KA­04­JZ­6776 (herein after called
as offending vehicle) drove the same with high speed and in a
rash and negligent manner and dashed against the petitioners
and caused accident, as a result of this, the petitioners
sustained grievous injuries. Immediately after the accident the
petitioners were shifted to Premier Sanjeevini hospital, wherein
they have taken treatment as inpatients and spent huge
amount towards treatment and other incidental charges.
  SCCH-12                         8       MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



      13.   The respondent No.2 has denied the accident and
stated that, the accident did not take place due to the rash and
negligent manner of the rider of the offending vehicle. The
petitioners in both cases have not sustained any injuries as
stated in their petitions. The accident took place due to careless
and negligent manner of the petitioners, as they were crossing
the road    without observing the traffic rules and regulations.
The jurisdictional police have filed charge sheet against the
rider of the said offending vehicle.


      14.   The   petitioners   have   produced    copy    of   F.I.R.,
complaint, charge sheet, Panchanama, seizure mahazar, MVA
report, wound certificate (PW­1) and charge sheet, wound
certificate (PW­2) which have been marked at Ex.P.1 to 7 and
12. The recitals of complaint shows that the petitioners who
were crossing the road and at that time, the rider of offending
motorcycle hit the petitioners. However, the learned counsel for
the respondent no.2 has argued that due to the sole negligence
of the petitioners, the accident took place.      But, the material
placed on record shows that, the accident took place due to
rash and negligent riding of rider of offending vehicle.


      15. On perusal of Ex.P.2 complaint and Ex.P.7 charge
sheet, it shows that the accident took place at the time of
crossing of road by the petitioners.    It is an admitted fact that
the accident took place on Tumkur­Bengaluru NH­48 Road and
the movement of vehicles in the said road is very high and it is a
  SCCH-12                            9     MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



very huge traffic road and therefore, one who crosses the road
should take utmost care and caution. More over, it is also an
admitted fact that there was no zebra crossing to cross the
pedestrians.      In the present case on hand, the petitioners of
both petitions were crossing the road without taking care and
caution and therefore, they are also responsible for the
accident.      As such, the part of negligence is attributed towards
petitioners.     However, the rider of the motorcycle could have
avoided the accident, if she took little care and caution while
riding her vehicle.       As far as the negligence on the part of
petitioners is concerned, it is meager compared to the rider of
the offending vehicle. Therefore, the contributory negligence is
fixed on the part of the petitioners and rider of offending vehicle
at the ratio of 20% and 80% respectively.


      16. After considering all these facts and circumstances of
the case that, the accident took place due to the negligence of
the rider of motorcycle bearing No.KA­04­JZ­6776 and also due
to contributory negligence of petitioners. Accordingly, I answer
Issue No.1 in both the cases in Partly Affirmative.


      17.      ISSUE   NO.2    IN   MVC    NO.1995/2020      :   The
petitioner has stated that she has sustained injuries on the face
and she was admitted to the Premier Sanjeevini Hospital,
Bengaluru from 17­02­2020 to 18­02­2020 and she was treated
and she was advised follow­up treatment.
  SCCH-12                           10       MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



     18.     On considering the oral evidence of PW.1 and
documentary evidence which have been marked as Ex. P1­FIR,
Ex.P.2­     complaint, Ex.P.3 & 4 Spot and seizure mahazar,
Ex.P.5 IMV report, Ex.P.6 Wound certificate, Ex.P.7 Charge
sheet, Ex.P.8 discharge summary, it is found that the petitioner
has sustained only simple injuries.

     19.     As far as the age of the petitioner is concerned, the
petitioner has stated that she was 20 years at the time of
accident.   To   substantiate   her     contention,   Petitioner   has
produced Ex.P.11 notarized copy of Aadhaar card, in which it
reveals the date of birth of the petitioner as 09­01­2000.         As
such, the petitioner is aged about 20 years as on the date of
accident.    As such, this Tribunal considers the age of the
petitioner as "20"years.

     20.     The document Ex. P.6 i.e., wound certificate shows
that the Petitioner had sustained injury to face and she was
admitted to the Premier Sanjeevini Hospital, Bengaluru from
17­02­2020 and taken treatment and she was discharged on
18­02­2020 with follow­up advice. Though, the petitioner has
not got examined the doctor, she has produced wound
certificate, discharge summary and Ex.P.9 medical bills worth
Rs.11,878/­      This fact clearly goes to show that she took
treatment in the hospital and therefore, this tribunal cannot
award compensation for the future loss of income and other
heads and therefore, this tribunal considering the nature of
injuries    sustained   by   the   petitioner   awards     a   global
  SCCH-12                        11      MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



compensation of Rs.25,000/­ under all the conventional
heads.


      21. As already discussed in the issue No.1, the accident
took place due to the contributory negligence of petitioner and
the   contributory    negligence is fixed on the    part of the
petitioner at 20% and therefore, the amount of Rs.5,000/­ out
of award amount       is to be deducted    towards contributory
negligence.


      22. In view of the above discussion, I am of the opinion
that, the Petitioner of MVC No.1995/2020 is entitled for
global compensation of Rs.20,000/­ along with interest at
the rate of 6% p.a., from the date of filing of petition till
realization.


      23. ISSUE NO.2 IN MVC NO.1996/2020 : The petitioner
has stated that he has sustained Trimallular fracture with D/L
ankle left and he was admitted to the Premier Sanjeevini
Hospital, Bengaluru from 17­02­2020 and he underwent
surgery for lateral malleolus in the form of closed reduction and
internal fixation with TENS and CC screws for the medial
malleolus and he was discharged on 2002­2020 with follow­up
advice.

      24.     On considering the oral evidence of PW.1 and
documentary evidence which have been marked as Ex. P1­FIR,
  SCCH-12                          12       MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



Ex.P.2­     complaint, Ex.P.3 & 4 Spot and seizure mahazar,
Ex.P.5 IMV report, Ex.P.12 Wound certificate, Ex.P.7 Charge
sheet, Ex.P.13 &14 discharge summaries, it is found that the
petitioner has sustained grievous injuries.


     25.     As far as the age of the petitioner is concerned, the
petitioner has stated that he was 34 years at the time of
accident.    To   substantiate   his   contention,   petitioner   has
produced Ex.P.17 notarized copy of Aadhaar card, in which it
reveals the date of birth of the petitioner as 06­10­1986.        As
such, the petitioner is aged 34 years as on the date of accident.
As such, this Tribunal considers the age of the petitioner as
"34"years.

      26. The petitioner has stated that he was hale and
healthy and working as a lorry driver and was earning an
income of Rs.20,000/­ per month. But, he has not produced
any document supporting to show his income and as such this
Tribunal considers the avocation of the Petitioner as a driver. As
such, it is considered that the petitioner is an unskilled labour.
On considering the age and avocation of the petitioner on the
date of accident, this Tribunal considers the notional income of
the petitioner at Rs.12,000/­ p.m.


     27.     The document Ex. P.12 i.e., wound certificate shows
that the Petitioner had sustained Trimallular fracture with D/L
ankle left and he was admitted to the Premier Sanjeevini
Hospital, Bengaluru from 17­02­2020 and underwent surgery
  SCCH-12                           13       MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



and he was discharged on 20­02­2020 with follow­up advice.
Further he was admitted at Vijayanagar hospital, Bengaluru on
29­05­2020 and he underwent removal of TENS Left Fibula
under SAB done and discharged on 30­05­2020.


     28. Further P.W.3 has stated that           he     examined the
petitioner recently on 24­08­2021 and noticed the following
complaints i.e. swelling and pain in the left ankle, unable to
walk normally, unable to sit down, squat and sit cross leg, he
was limping gait, swollen deformed left ankle restricted left
ankle and foot movements, wasting of the left calf muscles. The
P.W.3 is not a treated doctor of the petitioner and he has also
stated that, the petitioner sustained Trimalleolar fracture
dislocation of the left ankle and also stated that he was
admitted in the hospital for 2 times. The P.W.3 has assessed the
disability on the "Guidelines of gazette notification issued by the
ministry of Social justice and empowerment, Government of
India" and has opined that the petitioner has got disability of
40% to left lower limb and 13% to the whole body.              However
P.W.3 has not stated the functional disability to the petitioner.
As this Tribunal has considered the avocation of petitioner as
unskilled labour. On considering the wound certificate Ex.P.12
and medical documents and the avocation of the petitioner and
on considering the age of the petitioner and also relying on the
principles   of   the   ruling   reported   in   2011    ACJ    1   SC
(Rajkumar /Vs/ Ajaykumar), the Tribunal considers the
permanent functional disability of the petitioner is at 13%. The
  SCCH-12                             14          MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



tribunal considers the age of the petitioner as 34 years on the
basis of medical documents produced by the petitioner and the
appropriate multiplier '16' is applicable as per Sarla Verma's
case. On considering the avocation and age of the petitioner,
the   total    loss   of    future        income     is    calculated        as
(12,000X12X13X16/100) =Rs.2,99,520/­


      29.     The petitioner has sustained Trimallular fracture
with D/L ankle left and he was admitted to the Premier
Sanjeevini    Hospital,    Bengaluru       and    Vijayanagar        hospital,
Bengaluru and he underwent surgery and also there is a
restricted    movement.     As   such,      he    has     suffered     lot   of
inconvenience and therefore, considering all these aspects as
well as avocation of the petitioner. Hence, this Tribunal awards
Rs.50,000/­ under the head of pain and sufferings.


      30.     The petitioner underwent closed reduction and
internal fixation with TENS for lateral malleolus and CC screws
for the medial malleolous. As such considering the avocation of
the petitioner and injuries sustained by him, he might have
required rest for three months. Therefore, the total period for
treatment is considered to be as three months. This Tribunal
awards Rs.36,000/­ under the head of Loss of income during
the period of treatment.


      31.     The petitioner has produced the medical bills and
prescriptions at Ex.P.15 & 16 towards the treatment taken by
       SCCH-12                          15        MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



     him     worth    Rs.2,01,964/­   Hence,     this   Tribunal   awards
     Rs.2,05,000/­ towards medical, conveyance, nutrition and
     attendant charges.


             32.   This tribunal awards Rs.30,000/­ under the head
     of Loss of future happiness and amenities.


             33. The P.W.3 has stated in his evidence that, the
     fracture of left medial and lateral malleolus with mild ankle tilt
     laterally is united. It is an admitted fact that the implants are
     removed.        As such, the petitioner has already undergone
     removal of implants. Hence, he is entitled for future medical
     expenses.


             34. As already discussed in the issue No.1, the accident
     took place due to the contributory negligence of petitioner and
     the     contributory   negligence is fixed on the        part of the
     petitioner at 20% and therefore, 20% of the award amount is
     to be deducted towards contributory negligence.
             The calculation table stands as follows:

01         Loss of future income             :          Rs. 2,99,520=00
02         Pain and sufferings               :          Rs.    50,000=00

03         Loss of income during             :          Rs.    36,000=00
           treatment period.
04         Medical,   conveyance,            :          Rs.   2,05,000=00

05      Loss      of      future            :         Rs.     30,000=00
        happiness            and
        amenities
                                      Total          Rs.     6,20,520=00
        20% deducted towards                         - RS.   1,24,104=00
        contributory
        negligence            of

        i.e.,     Rs.6,20,520/­
        MINUS              20%
        =Rs.1,24,104/­
                                    Grand             Rs.    4,96,416=00

                                    Total

          35. In view of the above discussion, I am of the opinion
     that, the Petitioner of MVC No.1996/2020 is entitled for
     compensation of Rs.4,96,416/­ along with interest at the
     rate of 6% p.a., from the date of filing of petition till
     realization.


           36. The official of respondent No.2 has got examined
     himself as RW­1 and produced Ex.R1 to R5 documents and
     also he stated in his evidence that the rider of the motor cycle
     was not possessing DL at the time of the accident. Further he
     has stated that the investigation officer has filed charge sheet
     by alleging that the rider has committed offences U/Sec. 279,
     337, 338 of IPC and Sec. 181 of M.V. Act and he has got marked
     true copy of charge sheet Ex.R3. The respondent No.2 also got
     examined   official of RTO Nelamangala as RW­2           and he has
  SCCH-12                            17      MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



produced Ex.R7 LLR, which belongs to rider of the offending
vehicle and he has stated that the rider of the motor vehicle
one Bhavana N.S. was possessing Learner's Licence at the time
of accident.


       37.     The learned counsel for the respondent no.2 has
canvassed the judgment of our Hon'ble Supreme Court reported
in 2020 SCC Online SC 769 between Beli Ram Vs.Rajinder
Kumar and others and also canvassed the Judgment of our
Hon'ble High Court reported in MFA.No.4716/2011 (MV),
United India Insurance Co.Ltd., Vs. Umamaheshwari and
others.


       38.    The Hon'ble Supreme Court and our Hon'ble High
Court have made proposition of law that is the driver or rider of
a vehicle is not possessing valid DL at the time of the accident
and in such a situation the liability is to be fastened on the
owner of the vehicle         and not the insurer.   However, in the
present case on hand, the petitioner was riding the motor cycle
with a       pillion rider   as per the   recitals of Ex.P1­FIR and
Ex.P7­charge sheet, the investigation officer       has   stated    in
the charge sheet that        the rider of the motor cycle was      not
possessing driving licence at the time of accident, but he has
stated that      the rider was possessing     learner's licence. The
material placed by the RTO official and police record discloses
that   the     rider of the motor cycle was    possessing learners'
licence at the time of the accident. The learned counsel for the
   SCCH-12                           18     MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



respondent No.2 has argued that          a rider who is possessing
learners licence shall be accompanied with a pillion rider who
is possessing driving licence. It is an admitted fact that a rider
who is possessing learner's licence shall be accompanied with a
pillion rider who is possessing driving licence while riding the
motorcycle.       It is also an admitted fact that   the rider was
accompanied by a pillion rider. However, in the present case
on hand,        the police record   does not disclose whether the
pillion rider was possessing driving licence or not. Moreover,
the investigation officer has also not filed charge sheet against
the owner of the vehicle by alleging that the owner allowed a
person to ride his motor cycle who was not have possessing
driving licence. Such being the case, this Tribunal comes to
the conclusion that the rider of the offending motorcycle was
riding       it with the pillion rider who was possessing   driving
licence. As such       the insurer cannot be    absolved from the
liability.

         39. The liability of Respondents No.1 and 2 is joint and
several in nature. Respondent No.2 being the insurers is
directed to pay the compensation amount. Hence, I answer
Issue No.2 of        MVC No. 1995/2020, and 1996/2020,          in
Partly Affirmative.

       40.     ISSUE NO.3 IN ALL THREE PETITIONS:           In view
of the above discussion on Issue no.1 and 2, I proceed to pass
the following;
 SCCH-12                            19       MVC No. 1995 & 1996/2020



                                   ORDER
