1 - 7 of 7 (0.53 seconds)New India Assurance Co. Ltd vs Asha Rani & Ors on 17 August, 2001
In support of this contention, the learned Counsel for the appellant
would rely on the decision in New India Assurance Co., Ltd., Vs. Asha Rani and
others reported in 2003 (2) Supreme Court Cases 223, wherein it has been held by
the Honourable Apex Court that the Section 147 of the Motor vehicles Act, 1988,
(as it stood prior to 1994 amendment), the Insurance Company is not liable to
pay any compensation to the claimants for a gratuitous passenger. The relevant
observation in the above said dictum runs as follows:

National Insurance Co. Ltd. vs Hansi Bisht And Ors. on 15 June, 2004
18. Hence, I hold on the point that the Insurance Company / the appellant
is liable to pay the award of compensation in M.C.O.P.No.440 of 1992, dated
31.07.1995 on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal - Principal
Subordinate Judge, Tiruchirappalli. The 'pay and recovery' theory will not
be applicable to the facts of the present case, because the accident had
occurred in the year 1990 before the judgment on that aspect were delivered as
in National Insurance Co., Ltd., Vs. Hansi Bisht reported in 2005 ACJ 794. The
point is answered accordingly.
