Ramachandrappa S/O Muniyappa vs The Regional Manager United India ... on 28 May, 2010
The Tribunal took note of the fact that

despite taking up such contentions regarding the
occupation and income the petitioner had failed to adduce
any evidence whatsoever to prove the occupation and
income. He did not adduce any documentary evidence and
he had not mounted the box. In such circumstances, though
we are of the view that the Tribunal cannot be said to have
committed a legal error, we are of the view that while fixing
the quantum of compensation payable in respect of a
particular application filed under Section 166 of the Act, the
court or the Tribunal has a duty to pay just compensation in
terms of the provisions of Section 168 of the M.V Act
commensurate with the injuries sustained. While
discharging such burden we cannot lost sight of the
decision of the Apex Court in Ramachandrappa v.
Manager, Sundaram Alliance Insurance Company
Limited [(2011) 13 SCC 236]. That was a case where for
the purpose of computing the compensation in respect of an
accident which occurred in the year 2004 the Apex Court
fixed notionally the monthly income of a coolie of at

in Swaran Singh's case the Hon'ble Apex Court relied on
two of its subsequent decisions viz., in Kusum Rai's case
(supra) and Ishwar Chandra's case (supra) found that when
the driver of a vehicle which involved in an accident was not
having a valid driving licence and its owner failed to
discharge his statutory burden under Section 5 of the Act
the Insurance Company, the Tribunal could certainly make
the insurer to satisfy the award in respect of a third party at
the first instance and then to recover the same from the
owner.
