Krishni And Ors. vs Amar Nath And Ors. on 4 March, 1996

Mr. Sujan Jain, learned Counsel for the claimants in this case, has placed reliance on one more decision reported in M.S. Rayta v. Gowrawwa Channabasappa 1987 ACJ 846 (Karnataka). It is a Division Bench ruling of the Karnataka High Court, wherein it has been held that a driver of military goods vehicle who took fare from the passengers on the way in violation of departmental instructions would also make his employer liable to such fare-paying passengers in the truck in case of an accident. We are, therefore, of the opinion that the Tribunal has held the appellants and respondent No. 6 responsible for payment of compensation to the legal representatives of the victims rightly on proper appreciation of evidence.

9. This question also come up for consideration before a Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court in M.S. Rayta v. Gowrawwa Channabasappa . It was held that the master is vicariously liable even if the act of the driver is in violation of the departmental instructions. In that case, the vehicle in question belonged to the defence department. The defence taken was that the driver was not in the master's employment and was not driving the vehicle on the master's instructions. The driver had been asked to take the vehicle to a particular place and to bring it to the garage, but the driver did not return to the garage and instead unauthorisedly, he on his own, went in an altogether different direction on a joy ride. On the way he picked up some civilian passengers. An accident occurred and the claim petition was filed. The High Court rejected the defence of the State and held that despite departmental instructions and the specific instructions to the driver, it cannot be said that the driver was not driving the vehicle in connection with his duties and functions as a driver.
