New India Ass. Co. Ltd vs Asha Rani & Ors on 3 December, 2002
The inevitable conclusion, therefore, is that provisions of the
Act do not enjoin any statutory liability on the owner of a vehicle to
get his vehicle insured for any passenger traveling in a goods carriage
and the insurer would have no liability therefor.
Our view gets support from a decision of a three-Judge Bench in
New India Assurance Co. Ltd. v. Asha Rani and Ors. (2003 (2) SCC 223)
and Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Devireddy Konda Reddy and Ors. (2003
(2) SCC 339)
Learned counsel for the respondents submitted that respondent
No.1 should be permitted to avail such remedies as are available in law
for recovering any amount to be paid as compensation from a person
liable to pay compensation at the first instance. No permission is
necessary for such purpose. If respondent No.1 has any remedy in law it
is open to pursue it in accordance with law. The appeals are allowed by
setting aside the judgment of the Tribunal and the High Court. There
shall be no order as to costs.
