Jeet Lal vs The State on 3 August, 2010

It is proved that the offending motorcycle of the accused was being driven on the wrong side of the road and injured was padestrian, who was passing through Zebra Crossing. Thus, accused is supposed to be extra cautious, considering the fact that there was was Zebra Crossing at the place of incident. It is pertinent to mention at this stage that it has been held by the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in case titled as Jeet Lal Vs. The State that 'the very fact that the truck driver did not care for the persons walking ahead on the road and did not apply brakes to save the pedestrian walking on the road itself shows that the truck driver was negligent. Every motor vehicle driver is supposed to drive the vehicle in accordance with road conditions, traffic density and presence of pedestrians on the road. Where the traffic density is more and pedestrians are also waling on the road, the motor vehicle driver is supposed to drive in such a manner that he does not hit the pedestrian and the motor vehicle would stop immediately on application of brakes. If this caution of driving a vehicle in a proper manner is not taken, this would amount to negligence and if the motor vehicle hits somebody from behind, due to such driving or non-application of brake, this is criminal negligence'.
