The Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. vs S. Gurmeet Singh on 20 April, 2011
9. Learned counsel for the respondent/complainant has supported
the impugned order and submitted that it does not call for any
interference by this Commission. He argued that looking to Final
Report, it is established that the vehicle was transporting empty drums
//7 //
and the drums were not filled with diesel. He further argued that in case
of The Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Shri S. Gurmeet Singh, Appeal
No.355/2010 decided on 20.04.2011, this Commission held that the diesel
cannot be said to be a hazardous substance. In above case, this
Commission further held that Diesel is also a Petroleum Product, but,
nevertheless unless it is specifically named in the list containing names
of hazardous and toxic chemical or substances, it cannot be said that
Diesel, itself was hazardous or dangerous substance. Therefore, if the
driver of the vehicle in question was carrying diesel in the vehicle, then it
cannot be said that the driver was carrying hazardous substance in the
vehicle and violated the conditions of the insurance policy. Therefore,
the order passed by learned District Forum is reasonable and passed
after due appreciation of material available before it an it does not call
for any interference by this Commission.
