United India Insurance Co.Ltd vs K.M.Poonam & Ors on 18 February, 2011

5. If that be the position, this issue would not arise for consideration. It is exactly for this reason, the Tribunal has not framed any issue with regard to overloading. Otherwise also, issue with regard to the overloading of the offending vehicle and the liability of the insurer has been fairly settled by the Supreme Court in the case of United India Insurance Company Limited v. K.M.Poonam, 2011 ACJ 917 SC.

The multiplier used by the Tribunal 4 MA No.364/2017 is also not correct, because as per Sarla Verma and others v. Delhi Transport Corporation and another, (2009) 6 SCC 121, the appropriate multiplier for the age group of persons 25-30 years is 17.
