New India Assurance Co. Ltd vs Asha Rani & Ors on 17 August, 2001

In New India Assurance Co. Ltd. v. Asha Rani this Court had occasion to consider the scope of the expression "any person" occurring in Section 147 of the Act. This Court held: (SCC p. 235, para 26) "... that the meaning of the words `any person' must also be attributed having regard to the context in which they have been used i.e. `a third party'. Keeping in view the provisions of the 1988 Act, we are of the opinion that as the provisions thereof do not enjoin any statutory liability on the owner of a vehicle to get his vehicle insured for any passenger travelling in a goods vehicle, the insurers would not be liable therefor."

Pushpabai Purshottam Udeshi & Ors vs Ranjit Ginning & Pressing Co. (P) Ltd. & ... on 25 March, 1977

In Pushpabai Purshottam Udeshi v. Ranjit Ginning & Pressing Co. (P) Ltd., two of the learned Judges who constituted the Bench in Minu B. Mehta held that when a car is driven by the owner's employee on owner's business, the normal rule was that it was for the claimant for compensation to prove negligence. When the Manager of the owner while driving the car on the business of the owner took in a passenger, it would be taken that he had the authority to do so, considering his position unless otherwise shown. If due to his negligent driving an accident occurred and the passenger died, the owner would be liable for compensation. The Court noticed that the modern trend was to make the master liable for acts of his servant which may not fall within the expression "in the course of his employment" as formerly understood. With respect, we think that the extensions to the principle of liability have been rightly indicated in this decision".
