United India Ins. Co. Ltd. vs Sukhiabai @ Ramsukhibai And Ors. on 7 May, 1991
Shri Khot cited also Madras High Court's D.B. decision in United India Insurance Co. v. Lakshmi but the law laid down therein is of no relevance to the controversy mooted. In that case, it was held that in case of an accident between two trucks, the Insurer had no liability for death of the owner of one of the trucks in which he was travelling even though there was negligence of the driver of that truck resulting in the accident and his employer's death. Because, Insurer's liability under Section 95(1) of the old Act was "third party liability" only.
