The New India Assurance Co. Ltd vs Smt. Sheela Rani & Ors on 15 September, 1998
In our view, although the observation made in Asha Rani's case (supra) were
in connection with carrying passengers in a goods vehicle, the same would
apply with equal force to gratuitous passengers in any other vehicle also.
Thus, we must uphold the contention of the appellant-insurance company that
it owed no liability toward the injuries suffered by the deceased Rajinder
Singh who was a pillion rider, as the insurance policy was a statutory
policy, and hence it did not cover the risk of death of or bodily injury to
gratuitous passenger.

New India Assurance Compafiy vs Shri Satpal Singh And Ors on 2 December, 1999
223. In that case the discussion arose in connection with carrying
passengers in a goods vehicle. This Court after referring to the terms of
section 147 of the 1988 Act, as contrasted with section 95 of the 1939 Act,
held that the judgment in Satpal Singh's case (supra) had been incorrectly
decided and that the insurer will not be liable to pay compensation.
