National Insurance Company Ltd. And ... vs Narendra Kumar Jhanjhri on 17 March, 1989
5. The contention of the learned Counsel for the appellant, is that since the insurance of the tractor involved in the accident was admitted and since the 9th respondent did not produce the policy ofthe insurance the Tribunal was in error in dismissing the claim against the 9th respondent. It is his contention that the Tribunal was in error in holding that the deceased was travelling as a passenger in the tractor at the time of the accident, when in fact the deceased and his brother-in-law were travelling in the tractor as coolies of the owner of the tractor, for loading and unloading the goods that were being carried on in the trailer of the tractor involved in the accident, hence the 9th respondent is also liable to pay the compensation. He relied on National Insurance Company Limited v. Mallabai and others, 1999 ACJ 223, New India Assurance Company Limited v. Ram Kishore and others, 1999 ACJ 231, National Insurance Company v. Narendra Kumar, , and Amrit Lal Sood v. Kaushalya Devi Thapar, , in support of his contention.
