As I have already quoted earlier, the Claims Tribunal held that the first Appellant was not aware that the licence was fake.

Sheela Rani vs National Insurance Co. Ltd.& Ors on 1 March, 2016

The insurance company would not then be absolved of liability. If it ultimately turns out that the licence was fake, the insurance company would continue to remain liable unless they prove that the owner/insured was aware or had noticed that the licence was fake and still permitted that person to drive. More importantly, even in such a case the insurance company would remain liable to the innocent third party, but it may be able to recover from the insured. This is the law which has been laid down in Skandia[(1987) 2 SCC 654] , Sohan Lal Passi [(1996) 5 SCC 21 : 1996 SCC (Cri) 871] and Kamla [(2001) 4 SCC 342 : 2001 SCC (Cri) 701] cases. We are in full agreement with the views expressed therein and see no reason to take a different view".

Radhabai And Ors. vs H.K. Siddiqui And Ors. on 3 August, 2006

In view of the above, the matter would have to be decided on the anvil of the judgment of the Apex Court in United India Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Lehru and National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Swaran Singh . However, the point would be taken up by discussing the liability of the insurer of the alleged dumper Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd., its driver and owner. The counsel for Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. Mrs. Amrit Ruprah has stated that the R.T.O. employee Yogendra Kumar Garg, witness No. 1, who was working as an Assistant Divisional Inspector in the R.T.O., Jhansi and had on record deposed that the licence of the driver Ramesh Kumar was fake since the number bearing the same registration contained a different photo that from the one that was filed as Exh. D2 and name of non-applicant Ramesh Kumar, son of Kalu was nowhere mentioned in the licence. Thus, it has been proved that it was a fake licence and hence the insurance company was not liable to pay the compensation and the Tribunal had rightly exonerated the insurance company.
