The Divisional Manager vs Tirupathi on 9 December, 2021

10. At least two Division Benches of this Court in United India Insurance Co. Ltd., v. D.Hemavathy and others, reported in 2017 (2) TANMAC 115, and United India Insurance Co. Ltd., v. Suseela Jothi Mary and others, reported in Manu/TN/7547/2020 in CMA No.1814 of 2016, have held that FIR and other documentary evidence that are made available should be looked into in determining the negligence. It is also settled law that mere involvement of a vehicle in an accident cannot attribute negligence to the driver of the vehicle, it has to be proved by evidence.

S.Ayswarya vs M.Balasubramanian on 9 October, 2025

25. The documentary evidence indicate the accident was caused by 12/15 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 09/10/2025 04:30:17 pm ) C.M.A.No1508 of 2021 the lorry driver. However, the owner and its insurer had not been impleaded as respondents, the Tribunal has rightly dismissed the claim petition. The Division Bench of this Court in Suseela Jothi Mary case and D.Hemavathy and others has held that where the FIR and charge sheet implicate the lorry driver, merely based on the oral evidence of a witness whose presence at the scene of occurrence is highly doubtful, fix liability on the two wheeler rider and its insurer.
