Madhuben Wd/O Decd. Natubhai ... vs Vasudev Parshottamdas Desai & 6 on 18 February, 2014

16. Apart from the fact that the contents of the insurance policy have not been proved before this court, more significantly, as noticed earlier, the insurance policy reveals that the insured is one Shri Purshottamdas Gudumal Chaturani. A perusal of the cause title of the impugned award shows that said Shri Purshottamdas Gudumal Chaturani had not been impleaded as a party in the claim petition filed before the Tribunal. Thus, the owner of the offending truck was not impleaded as a party before the Tribunal and for the first time, has been impleaded as respondent No.7 in the present appeal. The insured, therefore, was not a party before the Tribunal. The question, therefore, arises for consideration as to whether any award could have been passed by the Tribunal against the Insurance Company in the absence of the insured. The said issue is no longer res integra, inasmuch as, a Division Bench of this court in the case of the Oriental Fire & General Insurance Insurance Company v. Aminbhai Pirmohomad Master (supra), wherein the grievance raised by the Insurance Company as the insurer of the motorcycle was that the owner of the motorcycle was not made a party to the petition, and therefore, no award could have been passed against the Insurance Company. The court held that the Insurance Company had insured the owner of the motorcycle. By insuring the owner of the motorcycle, the Insurance Company had agreed to indemnify whatever compensation he might have to pay for the injuries caused by the vehicle in question. The Page 11 of 13 C/FA/2381/2002 JUDGMENT question of the Insurance Company paying the amount of compensation would arise only if and when there was some award passed against the owner of the vehicle. When the owner of the vehicle is not made a party, the question of passing any award against the Insurance Company does not arise. No award could have been passed and the Tribunal had even no jurisdiction to pass such an award against the Insurance Company in the absence of the owner.

National Insurance Co. Ltd. vs Kumud Khosia And Ors. on 22 August, 1994

(9) The counsel for the insurance Company has referred me to the judgment of Gujarat High Court in Oriental Fire & General Insurance Co. Ltd Vs. Aminbhai Pirmohomad Master and others 1987 Acj 87 where a similar question arose and it was held that the contention raised is not of technical nature and is a pure question of law and goes to the very root to the matter. The same can, therefore, be raised in an appeal before the High Court. I am also not inclined to reject the contention of the appellant merely on the ground that it has not been raised and argued before the Tribunal.

10. Mr. Arora, learned Counsel for the appellant has invited my attention to Oriental Fire and General Ins. Co. Ltd. v. Aminbhai Pirmohomad Master and Ors. 1987 (1) ACJ 87.
