Smt.Rita Devi & Ors vs New India Assurance Co.Ltd. & Anr on 27 April, 2000

In RITA DEVI VS. NEW INDIA ASSURANCE CO.LTD., 2000 ACJ 801 (SC) , (cited by learned counsel for the petitioners), the Hon'ble Supreme Court interpreted the expression "arising out of the use of the motor vehicle" in the context of death or permanent disablement suffered due to the accident arising out of the use of motor vehicle and gave it even a wider interpretation even to include the situation where a murder can be treated as accident in a given case. In the said case, the death of deceased was caused in the process of committing theft of auto­rickshaw and it was held that owner of motor vehicle or authorised insurer was liable to pay compensation under Section 163A of the Motor Vehicles Act. It was thus, observed as under:­ "9. The question, therefore, is : can murder be an accident in any given case? There is no doubt that 'murder', as it is understood, in the common parlance is a felonious act where death is caused with intent and the perpetrators of that act normally have a motive against the victim for such killing. But there are also instances where murder can be by accident on a given set of facts. The difference between a 'murder' which is not an accident and a 'murder' which is an accident, depends on the proximity of the cause of such murder. In our opinion, if the dominant intention of the act of felony is to kill any particular person then such killing is not an accidental murder but is a murder simplicitor, while if the cause of murder or act of murder was originally not intended and the same was caused in furtherance of any other felonious act then such murder is an accidental murder."
