Mahadeo Hari Lokre vs The State Of Maharashtra on 23 November, 1971
7. The learned Counsel for the petitioner has also referred to Supreme Court judgment in the case of Mahadeo Hari Lokre v. State of Maharashtra 1972 ACJ (SC). In that case, the Supreme Court observed that if a pedestrian suddenly crosses the road without taking note of the approaching bus, the bus driver cannot save the accident and he cannot be held to be negligent. In the present case, the fact of the pedestrian suddenly crossing the road is negatived and therefore this judgment is of no assistance to the petitioner-accused.
