made to award compensation which may have some
objective relation with the pain and suffering underwent
by the victim. For this purpose, the Claims Tribunal and
the Courts normally consider the nature of injury; the

31. It may be noted that as per verified copy of DL in the name of
respondent no. 1, would show that same is shown to be valid for the
category of SC;TW;LMV;AR. It is also relevant to note that in response to
summons issued to concerned DTO from whose office the said DL was

relevant pages of DL issuing register, containing entry with regard to DL in

07.11.15. That being so, I am of the view that it can not be said that there
was no valid DL in favour of respondent no. 1 for the category of LMV(NT)
and the offending vehicle is car which falls in the category of LMV(NT).
Nevertheless, it is duly established on record that respondent no. 1 was
driving the offending car under the influence of liquor and that is why, he is
shown to have been chargesheeted for offence u/s. 185 M.V. Act. As
already noted above, the entire testimony of R3W1 has gone unchallenged
from the side of insured, who also failed to lead any evidence and rather
preferred to stay away from the proceedings throughout the inquiry. Hence,
it is held that due to said reason, there was violation of terms and conditions
of insurance policy on the part of insured. Thus, insurance company is
entitled to recovery rights against respondent no. 2. (Reliance placed on
decision dated 26.09.2017 in FAO no.7555/2015 in the matter titled as "MS
Middle High School and another Vs. Usha and others" by Hon'ble High
Court of Punjab and Haryana and as upheld by Hon'ble Apex Court in SLP
no.31406/2017 titled as "MS Middle High School Vs. HDFC ERGO
General Insurance Company Ltd. & others" decided on 22.11.2017).
Issue no. 2 is decided accordingly.
