This appeal has been preferred by the insurance company on the ground of quantum in spite of rejection of application under section 170 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 which, according to us, this Court report in 2007 (4) ADJ 101 ( Oriental Insurance Company Limited Vs. Smt. Manju and others) and of the Supreme Court reported i n AIR 2002 SC 3350 ( National Insurance Co. ltd. Chandigarh Vs. Nicolleta Rohtagi and others).
