11. As per view of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Mukand
Dewangan's case (Supra) if a person is having a driving
licence authorizing him to drive LMV commercial vehicle, he
do not need a separate driving licence to drive the other
transport vehicles of that class/category the gross vehicle
weight of which does not exceed 7500 kg. No case law was
cited on this point of controversy on behalf of the opposite
party-Insurance Company. Resultantly, findings are given that
the insurance claim of the complainants has been wrongly
repudiated by the Insurance Company on the ground that Ajit
Singh was not having a valid and effective driving licence to
drive a motor cycle vehicle at the time of accident.
