Shiv Mangal Singh Rajawat vs Rahul Sharma on 18 July, 2025
In case of Ram Bhagat Goutam (Supra) , it was held by the Division
Bench of this Court that the driver was holding a LMV licence but was driving a
motorcycle. It was observed that LMV license requires higher driving
responsibility than a motor cycle licence and that the owner had reason to believe
the driver was competent as he held an LMV Licence. Therefore, held that this
was not a substantial breach of policy conditions by the owner, and the insurer
was held jointly and severally liable with the driver and owner of the vehicle for
paying compensation to the claimant.
