Shriram General Insurance Company Ltd vs Sikander (2023:Rj-Jd:26222) on 18 August, 2023

"8. After having gone through the award of the Claims Tribunal and the judgment and order [National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Savitri Devi, FAO No. 143 of 2000, decided on 28-7-2005 (HP)] passed by the learned Single Judge of the High Court, we are not able to understand as to how it has been found that the appellant Insurance Company can still be held liable to pay the amount of compensation as there has been a categorical finding by both the courts recording that the vehicle in question was insured only as "goods carrying vehicle". The custom of carrying barat in the village on the said truck will not be sufficient to hold the appellant Insurance Company liable to pay the amount of compensation. Admittedly, the appellant Insurance Company would not know unless the accident takes place as to for what purpose the vehicle in question was being used. The terms and conditions of the insurance policy are very clear and categorical and it creates a specific bar on carrying of any passengers, except the employees other than the driver, not exceeding six (6) in number, who should also come under the purview of the Workmen's Compensation Act.
