ANALYSIS/FINDINGS ON ISSUES
12.1 Issue No.(1) of all four matters.

12.2 Before adverting to the facts of the present DAR for
deciding the above issue, at the very outset, it would be apposite
to note here that the procedure followed by an accident claim
tribunal is similar to what is followed by a civil court. In civil
matters the facts are required to be established by way of
preponderance of probabilities only and not by strict rules of
evidence or beyond reasonable doubt as is required in a criminal
prosecution. The burden of proof in a civil case is not as heavy as
it is in a criminal case and in a claim petition under the M. V. Act,
this burden is even lesser than a civil case. Reference in this
regard can be made to the prepositions of law laid down by the
Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in case of "Bimla Devi and
others Vs. Himachal Road Transport Corporation and Ors. "
reported in (2009) 13 SC 530, which were reiterated in the
subsequent judgments in the case of "Parmeshwari Vs. Amir
Chand and Ors." 2011 (1) SCR 1096 (Civil Appeal No.1082 of
2011) and "Mangla Ram Vs. Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. &
Ors.", 2018 Law Suit (SC) 303 etc.
12.3 Now keeping in mind the aforesaid legal
principle/preposition for decision of the present issue, this
Tribunal has gone through the testimony of the witnesses and
entire material available on record. This Tribunal has also given
thoughtful consideration to arguments addressed by Ld. Counsels
for the parties.

17:15:37 +0530
12.4 In this matter to prove the rashness and negligence of
driving of offending vehicle by respondent no.1, the petitioner
Prashant Malik and Ankit Dalal have deposed that on the day of
incident, they along with Amit Kadyan were going to Gurugram in
Creta Car bearing registration no. HR13R6218 driven by petitioner
Ankit Dalal. At about 3:00 am, when they reached at Mayapuri
Flyover Chowk, their vehicle was hit by vehicle bearing
registration no. DL1LY0787 driven by respondent no.1. Due to
same, their vehicle struck against the divider. Both vehicles
caught fire. All of them sustained injuries. The incident happened
due to rash and negligent driving of respondent no.1. Petitioner
Prashant Malik denied suggestion in his cross-examination that
their vehicle hit the divider on its own. Nothing supporting the
case of the respondents as to manner of incident or negligence
came on record in lengthy and skillful cross-examination done of
said witnesses by respondent side.
12.5 The respondent no.01/driver was the best witness
who could have rebutted the case of rashness and negligence of
driving of the offending vehicle put forth by claimants. But
respondent no.01/driver has chosen not to come in witness box to
disprove the case of the petitioner side on said aspect. In the
given circumstances, adverse inference also needs to be drawn
against respondents. Reliance can be placed upon the decision
"Cholamandalam M.S. General Insurance Company Ltd. Vs.
Kamlesh" 2009 (3) AD (Delhi) 310 upon said issue/aspect.
12.6 In totality of circumstances, this Tribunal is of the
opinion that the claimant side has been able to bring on record

Digitally signed by
HARVINDER HARVINDER SINGH
SINGH Date: 2025.05.09
17:15:39 +0530
such facts which establishes at the scales required that the
incident in question took place due to rash and negligent driving
of offending vehicle bearing registration number DL1LY0787 by
its driver/respondent no.01 on the date and time of the incident.
Accordingly, issue no.01 of all four matters is decided in favour
of the petitioner(s)/claimant(s)/applicant(s)/injureds and against
the respondents.
Issue No. (ii) of Petition No.01 (Prashant Malik vs. Raju @
Jhalla)
(ii) Whether the petitioner is entitled to compensation, if yes, of
what amount and from whom? OPP.
13.1 The petitioner/injured Prashant Malik is certainly
entitled for compensation in view of decision of above issue.
Before proceeding further to decide the present issue, it would be
apposite to encapsulate the law laid down by Hon'ble Supreme
Court of India in its guiding lamp post judgment for ascertaining
just compensation in road vehicular injury cases.
13.2 Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in its division
bench decision in matter of "Raj Kumar Vs. Ajay Kumar & Ors."
(2011) 1 SCC 343 has held : -
"General principles relating to compensation in injury cases
4. The provision of The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 ('Act' for
short) makes it clear that the award must be just, which means
that compensation should, to the extent possible, fully and
adequately restore the claimant to the position prior to the
accident. The object of awarding damages is to make good the
loss suffered as a result of wrong done as far as money can do
so, in a fair, reasonable and equitable manner. The Court or
tribunal shall have to assess the damages objectively and
exclude from consideration any speculation or fancy, though
some conjecture with reference to the nature of disability and its
consequences, is inevitable. A person is not only to be
compensated for the physical injury, but also for the loss which

Digitally signed by
HARVINDER HARVINDER SINGH
SINGH Date: 2025.05.09
17:15:41 +0530
he suffered as a result of such injury. This means that he is to be
compensated for his inability to lead a full life, his inability to
enjoy those normal amenities which he would have enjoyed but
for the injuries, and his inability to earn as much as he used to
earn or could have earned. ( See C. K. Subramonia Iyer vs. T.
Kunhikuttan Nair - AIR 1970 SC 376, R. D. Hattangadi Vs. Pest
Control (India) Ltd. - 1995 (1) SCC 551 and Baker vs.
Willoughby - 1970 AC 467).
5. The heads under which compensation is awarded in personal
injury cases are the following :
Pecuniary damages (Special Damages)
(i) Expenses relating to treatment, hospitalization, medicines,
transportation, nourishing food, and miscellaneous expenditure.
(ii) Loss of earnings (and other gains) which the injured would
have made had he not been injured, comprising :
(a) Loss of earning during the period of treatment;
(b) Loss of future earnings on account of permanent disability.
(iii) Future medical expenses.
Non-pecuniary damages (General Damages)
(iv) Damages for pain, suffering and trauma as a consequence of
the injuries.
(v) Loss of amenities (and/or loss of prospects of marriage).
(vi) Loss of expectation of life
(shortening of normal longevity).
In routine personal injury cases, compensation will be awarded
only under heads (i), (ii)(a) and (iv). It is only in serious cases of
injury, where there is specific medical evidence corroborating
the evidence of the claimant, that compensation will be granted
under any of the heads (ii)(b), (iii), (v) and (vi) relating to loss
of future earnings on account of permanent disability, future
medical expenses, loss of amenities (and/or loss of prospects of
marriage) and loss of expectation of life. Assessment of
pecuniary damages under item (i) and under item (ii)(a) do not
pose much difficulty as they involve reimbursement of actuals
and are easily ascertainable from the evidence. Award under the
head of future medical expenses - item (iii) -- depends upon
specific medical evidence regarding need for further treatment
and cost thereof. Assessment of non-pecuniary damages - items
(iv), (v) and (vi) -- involves determination of lump sum amounts
with reference to circumstances such as age, nature of
injury/deprivation/disability suffered by the claimant and the
effect thereof on the future life of the claimant. Decision of this
Court and High Courts contain necessary guidelines for award
under these heads, if necessary. What usually poses some
difficulty is the assessment of the loss of future earnings on
account of permanent disability - item (ii)(a). We are concerned
with that assessment in this case. Assessment of future loss of

earnings due to permanent disability.
6. Disability refers to any restriction or lack of ability to perform
an activity in the manner considered normal for a human-being.
Permanent disability refers to the residuary incapacity or loss of
use of some part of the body, found existing at the end of the
period of treatment and recuperation, after achieving the
maximum bodily improvement or recovery which is likely to
remain for the remainder life of the injured. Temporary
disability refers to the incapacity or loss of use of some part of
the body on account of the injury, which will cease to exist at
the end of the period of treatment and recuperation. Permanent
disability can be either partial or total. Partial permanent
disability refers to a person's inability to perform all the duties
and bodily functions that he could perform before the accident,
though he is able to perform some of them and is still able to
engage in some gainful activity. Total permanent disability
refers to a person's inability to perform any avocation or
employment related activities as a result of the accident. The
permanent disabilities that may arise from motor accidents
injuries, are of a much wider range when compared to the
physical disabilities which are enumerated in the Persons with
Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full
Participation) Act, 1995 (`Disabilities Act' for short). But if any
of the disabilities enumerated in section 2(i) of the Disabilities
Act are the result of injuries sustained in a motor accident, they
can be permanent disabilities for the purpose of claiming
compensation.
7. The percentage of permanent disability is expressed by the
Doctors with reference to the whole body, or more often than
not, with reference to a particular limb. When a disability
certificate states that the injured has suffered permanent
disability to an extent of 45% of the left lower limb, it is not the
same as 45% permanent disability with reference to the whole
body. The extent of disability of a limb (or part of the body)
expressed in terms of a percentage of the total functions of that
limb, obviously cannot be assumed to be the extent of disability
of the whole body. If there is 60% permanent disability of the
right hand and 80% permanent disability of left leg, it does not
mean that the extent of permanent disability with reference to
the whole body is 140% (that is 80% plus 60%). If different
parts of the body have suffered different percentages of
disabilities, the sum total thereof expressed in terms of the
permanent disability with reference to the whole body, cannot
obviously exceed 100%.
8. Where the claimant suffers a permanent disability as a result
of injuries, the assessment of compensation under the head of
loss of future earnings, would depend upon the effect and

impact of such permanent disability on his earning capacity. The
Tribunal should not mechanically apply the percentage of
permanent disability as the percentage of economic loss or loss
of earning capacity. In most of the cases, the percentage of
economic loss, that is, percentage of loss of earning capacity,
arising from a permanent disability will be different from the
percentage of permanent disability. Some Tribunals wrongly
assume that in all cases, a particular extent (percentage) of
permanent disability would result in a corresponding loss of
earning capacity, and consequently, if the evidence produced
show 45% as the permanent disability, will hold that there is
45% loss of future earning capacity. In most of the cases,
equating the extent (percentage) of loss of earning capacity to
the extent (percentage) of permanent disability will result in
award of either too low or too high a compensation. What
requires to be assessed by the Tribunal is the effect of the
permanently disability on the earning capacity of the injured;
and after assessing the loss of earning capacity in terms of a
percentage of the income, it has to be quantified in terns of
money, to arrive at the future loss of earnings (by applying the
standard multiplier method used to determine loss of
dependency). We may however note that in some cases, on
appreciation of evidence and assessment, the Tribunal may find
that percentage of loss of earning capacity as a result of the
permanent disability, is approximately the same as the
percentage of permanent disability in which case, of course, the
Tribunal will adopt the said percentage for determination of
compensation (see for example, the decisions of this court in
Arvind Kumar Mishra v. New India Assurance Co.Ltd . -
2010(10) SCALE 298 and Yadava Kumar v. D.M., National
Insurance Co. Ltd. - 2010 (8) SCALE 567).
9. Therefore, the Tribunal has to first decide whether there is
any permanent disability and if so the extent of such permanent
disability. This means that the tribunal should consider and
decide with reference to the evidence: (i) whether the
disablement is permanent or temporary; (ii) if the disablement is
permanent, whether it is permanent total disablement or
permanent partial disablement, (iii) if the disablement
percentage is expressed with reference to any specific limb, then
the effect of such disablement of the limb on the functioning of
the entire body, that is the permanent disability suffered by the
person. If the Tribunal concludes that there is no permanent
disability then there is no question of proceeding further and
determining the loss of future earning capacity. But if the
Tribunal concludes that there is permanent disability then it will
proceed to ascertain its extent. After the Tribunal ascertains the
actual extent of permanent disability of the claimant based on

the medical evidence, it has to determine whether such
permanent disability has affected or will affect his earning
capacity.
10. Ascertainment of the effect of the permanent disability on
the actual earning capacity involves three steps. The Tribunal
has to first ascertain what activities the claimant could carry on
in spite of the permanent disability and what he could not do as
a result of the permanent ability (this is also relevant for
awarding compensation under the head of loss of amenities of
life). The second step is to ascertain his avocation, profession
and nature of work before the accident, as also his age. The
third step is to find out whether (i) the claimant is totally
disabled from earning any kind of livelihood, or (ii) whether in
spite of the permanent disability, the claimant could still
effectively carry on the activities and functions, which he was
earlier carrying on, or (iii) whether he was prevented or
restricted from discharging his previous activities and functions,
but could carry on some other or lesser scale of activities and
functions so that he continues to earn or can continue to earn his
livelihood. For example, if the left hand of a claimant is
amputated, the permanent physical or functional disablement
may be assessed around 60%. If the claimant was a driver or a
carpenter, the actual loss of earning capacity may virtually be
hundred percent, if he is neither able to drive or do carpentry.
On the other hand, if the claimant was a clerk in government
service, the loss of his left hand may not result in loss of
employment and he may still be continued as a clerk as he could
perform his clerical functions; and in that event the loss of
earning capacity will not be 100% as in the case of a driver or
carpenter, nor 60% which is the actual physical disability, but
far less. In fact, there may not be any need to award any
compensation under the head of `loss of future earnings', if the
claimant continues in government service, though he may be
awarded compensation under the head of loss of amenities as a
consequence of losing his hand. Sometimes the injured claimant
may be continued in service, but may not found suitable for
discharging the duties attached to the post or job which he was
earlier holding, on account of his disability, and may therefore
be shifted to some other suitable but lesser post with lesser
emoluments, in which case there should be a limited award
under the head of loss of future earning capacity, taking note of
the reduced earning capacity. It may be noted that when
compensation is awarded by treating the loss of future earning
capacity as 100% (or even anything more than 50%), the need to
award compensation separately under the head of loss of
amenities or loss of expectation of life may disappear and as a
result, only a token or nominal amount may have to be awarded

under the head of loss of amenities or loss of expectation of life,
as otherwise there may be a duplication in the award of
compensation. Be that as it may."

13.3 In view of the above law laid down by Hon'ble
Supreme Court of India, in routine injury cases, award needs to
be passed only under heads of medical expenses, loss of earning
during treatment period and damages for pain, suffering and
trauma. In cases of serious injuries, where there is specific
medical evidence corroborating the claim/evidence of the
claimant, award additionally needs to be passed under the heads
of loss of future earnings on account of permanent disability
suffered, future medical expenses, loss of amenities (including
loss of prospects of marriage) and loss of expectation of life. The
assessment of future medical expenses would depend upon
specific medical evidence/advise for further treatment and costs
thereof. The determination of damages on account of pain and
suffering, loss of amenities and loss of expectation of life would
depend upon the age of victim, nature of
injury(ies)/deprivation/disability suffered by victim and the effect
thereof on life of claimant. The process would involve
determination/assessment of lump-sum amounts under those
heads. In case of assessment of loss of future earnings on
account of permanent disability, the Tribunal needs to first
ascertain whether the disability noted/assessed by the medical
board is temporary or permanent in nature. If the disability is
permanent in nature, then whether it is a total permanent
disablement or partial permanent disablement. If the disablement

has been referred/expressed in percentage terms, in reference to
any specific limb then the effect of such disablement of the limb
on the function of entire body. Once, the permanent disability is
ascertained, then the Tribunal needs to determine whether such
permanent disability has affected or will affect the earning
capacity of the claimant. To ascertain same, the Tribunal needs
to ascertain the avocation, profession and nature of work of the
claimant before the incident. The Tribunal also needs to
ascertain his age and then needs to ascertain what activities the
claimant could carry on in spite of permanent disability and what
he could not do as result of same. The Tribunal then also needs
to ascertain whether the claimant is totality disabled from earning
any kind of livelihood or whether in spite of the permanent
disability, the claimant could still effectively carry on activities
and functions which he was carrying on earlier or whether the
claimant is prevented or restricted from discharging his previous
activities and functions, but could carry on some other or lesser
scale of activities and functions to earn or can continue to earn
his livelihood despite permanent disability suffered. After
ascertaining the functional disability vide above process, then
Tribunal needs to workout the loss of earning capacity per month.
The Tribunal is thereafter required to workout loss of earning
capacity per annum. An appropriate multiplier needs to be
ascertained as per judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India
in matter of "Sarla Verma Vs. DTC" 2009 ACJ 1298 SC
according to age of the injured/victim. The total loss of earning
capacity then needs to be worked out multiplying appropriate

HARVINDER HARVINDER SINGH
SINGH Date: 2025.05.09
17:15:57 +0530
multiplier ascertained with ascertained annual loss of earning
capacity. This is a case where permanent disability is claimed
and compensation is also demanded qua future loss of earnings
on account of permanent disability, hence, this Tribunal now
proceeds further step by step to decide the compensation/award
under different heads applicable to the present matter in light of
above preposition.
DETERMINATION OF INJURIES AND DURATION OF
TREATMENT
13.4 It would be appropriate to first ascertain the nature
of injuries suffered by the injured/claimant and duration of
treatment as they need to be kept in mind while ascertaining the
compensation under different heads applicable. As per MLC
issued by Max Heathcare Ex.CW1A, injured has suffered
grievous injuries in the incident. He was admitted in Max
Healthcare on 30.06.2022 and was discharged on 04.07.2022.
DETERMINATION OF AGE OF CLAIMANT/INJURED &
MULTIPLIER
13.5 The age of the claimant/injured would also be an
essential consideration for grant of just compensation under
different heads applicable in the present matter, so claimant's age
also needs to be ascertained first. As per Aadhar card of injured
available on record, date of birth of the injured is 10.04.1995 and
the incident took place on 30.06.2022, so the injured/petitioner is
taken to be 27 years of age at the time of incident/accident.
Since, he falls in age bracket of 26 to 30 years, so, multiplier
applicable to this case would be 17.

DETERMINATION OF EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION
13.6 No documentary proof has been filed by the
petitioner side to show his educational qualification.
DETERMINATION OF MEDICAL EXPENSES
13.7 The petitioner has filed medical bills as Ex.CW 1B
on record. Original medical bills placed on record by the
petitioner and paid by him comes out to be of Rs.70,276/-.
Hence, injured/petitioner is entitled for a sum of Rs. 70,276/- on
account of medical bills/expenses. Accordingly, petitioner is
awarded Rs.70,276/- on account of medical expenses.
AWARD TOWARDS FUTURE TREATMENT
13.8 Petitioner has claimed amount for removal of
implant. Petitioner has not filed any estimate of expenditure of
removal of implant. Considering the fact that implant certainly
needs to be removed after passage of some time, an amount of
Rs.50,000/- is awarded for its removal.
PAIN & SUFFERINGS
13.9 A particular amount cannot be fixed of pain and
sufferings applicable to all cases as it varies from case to case.
Judicial notice can be taken of the fact that since the petitioner
has received serious injuries, therefore, petitioner must have
suffered acute pain and sufferings owing to the said injuries.
Considering the nature of injuries, duration of the treatment of
the petitioner in the hospital and the disability(ies) suffered by
the injured/petitioner as mentioned in the disability certificate,
this Tribunal hereby grant compensation of Rs.1,50,000/-
towards pain and sufferings to the petitioner.

DETERMINATION OF INCOME OF
INJURED/PETITIONER
13.10(i) The injured/petitioner/claimant has claimed that he
was working as Enterprise Sales Manager with SRP US Logistics
Pvt. Ltd. and used to get salary of Rs.3,07,662/- per month. In
order to prove his salary, injured has filed on record pay slip
Ex.CW1C(colly). As per salary slip for the month of June 2022,
injured was drawing basic pay of Rs.47,674/-, HRA of
Rs.19,070/-, Special Allowance of Rs.12,056/- and incentive of
Rs.2,28,862/-. Hence, the income of injured needs to be
considered as Rs.66,744/- (Basic Pay of Rs.47,674/- + HRA of
Rs.19,070/-) per month at the time of incident.
DETERMINATION OF LOSS OF INCOME DURING
TREATMENT PERIOD
13.10(ii) Petitioner/injured in his evidence has deposed
that he has not received two months incentives due to injuries
sustained in the incident in question. However, injured in his
cross-examination has deposed that he got 02 months basic salary
after the incident. Hence, injured is hereby granted
compensation of Rs. 4,57,724/- (Rs.2,28,862/- x 2) towards loss
of incentives during treatment period.
DETERMINATION OF LOSS OF FUTURE EARNINGS
13.11 This Tribunal has received the disability certificate
of the petitioner from Guru Gobind Singh Government Hospital,
Raghubir Nagar, New Delhi. In the disability certificate, it has
been specifically mentioned that the petitioner has suffered 13%
permanent disability in relation to right lower limb & left upper

limb.
ASSESSMENT OF FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY
13.12 The injured/petitioner has claimed that he was doing
private job at time of incident. The age of victim has been
ascertained as 27 years at the time of incident. The permanent
disability is 13% in relation to right lower limb & left upper limb.
It is claimed that the same would result in total
preventing/hampering the injured/claimant in carrying on the
activity which he was carrying on earlier. In the opinion of this
Tribunal, the same should be considered to have significant effect
of functional disability in relation to claimed work of sales
Manager of the petitioner/claimant or other
job/avocation/profession which could be taken by the
petitioner/claimant in future and in any day to day activities. He
would certain face difficulty in sitting cross-legs, climbing etc.
Hence, the functional disability of petitioner needs to be
considered as 07% at least.
DETERMINATION OF FUTURE PROSPECTS APPLICABLE
13.13 The injured was aged less than 40 years at the time
of incident and had no permanent job, so the future
prospects/benefits applicable to the present case would be 40%.
ASSESSMENT/DETERMINATION OF ENHANCED
MONTHLY INCOME
13.14 As has already been held, income of injured as
Rs.66,744/- would be applicable in this case and an addition of
40% needs to be made qua future prospects. Accordingly, the
monthly income of the injured needs to be taken as Rs. 93,442/-

(after rounding off Rs.93,441.6/-)(Rs.66,744/- + Rs.26,697.6/-
which is 40% of Rs.66,744/-).
LOSS OF EARNING CAPACITY/LOSS OF FUTURE
EARNING
13.15 The total loss of earning capacity/loss of future
earning would come out to be Rs.13,34,352/- (rounding off
Rs.13,34,351.76/-) (Rs.93,442/-x 12 x 17 x 07/100). Hence, so
awarded.
AWARD TOWARDS LOSS OF AMENITIES OF LIFE
13.16 Considering the age of the injured, the nature of
injuries suffered by the injured/petitioner, the disability
certificate of claimant/injured, the duration of treatment of
claimant/injured and the fact that the permanent disability
suffered by claimant/injured may hamper to some extent in
driving vehicles, climibing, sports activities etc., this Tribunal
hereby grant compensation of Rs.50,000/- on account of loss of
amenities of life.
AWARD TOWARDS LOSS OF EXPECTATION OF LIFE
13.17 Considering the nature of injuries suffered by the
injured/petitioner, duration of his treatment and disability(ies)
suffered, this Tribunal hereby grant compensation of Rs.50,000/-
on account of loss of expectation of life.

“…46.Section 10 of the Act requires a driver to hold a
licence with respect to the class of vehicles and not with
respect to the type of vehicles. In one class of vehicles,
there may be different kinds of vehicles. If they fall in the
same class of vehicles, no separate endorsement is required
to drive such vehicles. As light motor vehicle includes
transport vehicle also, a holder of light motor vehicle
licence can drive all the vehicles of the class including
transport vehicles. It was pre-amended position as well the
post-amended position of Form 4 as amended on 28.3.2001.
Any other interpretation would be repugnant to the
definition of “light motor vehicle” in section 2(21) and the
provisions of section 10(2)(d), Rule 8 of the Rules of 1989,
other provisions and also the forms which are in tune with
the provisions. Even otherwise the forms never intended to
exclude transport vehicles from the category of ‘light motor
vehicles’ and for light motor vehicle, the validity period of
such licence hold good and apply for the transport vehicle
of such class also and the expression in Section 10(2)(e) of
the Act ‘Transport Vehicle’ would include medium goods
vehicle, medium passenger motor vehicle, heavy goods
vehicle, heavy passenger motor vehicle which earlier found
place in section 10(2)(e) to (h) and our conclusion is
fortified by the syllabus and rules which we have discussed.
Thus we answer the questions which are referred to us thus:

(i) ‘Light motor vehicle’ as defined in section 2(21)
of the Act would include a transport vehicle as per
the weight prescribed in section 2(21) read with
section 2(15) and 2(48). Such transport vehicles are
not excluded from the definition of the light motor
vehicle by virtue of Amendment Act No.54/1994.

(ii) A transport vehicle and omnibus, the gross
vehicle weight of either of which does not exceed
7500 kg. would be a light motor vehicle and also
motor car or tractor or a road roller, ‘unladen
weight’ of which does not exceed 7500 kg. and
holder of a driving licence to drive class of “light
motor vehicle” as provided in section 10(2)(d) is
competent to drive a transport vehicle or omnibus,
the gross vehicle weight of which does not exceed
7500 kg. or a motor car or tractor or road-roller, the
“unladen weight” of which does not exceed 7500
kg. That is to say, no separate endorsement on the
licence is required to drive a transport vehicle of
light motor vehicle class as enumerated above. A
licence issued under section 10(2)(d) continues to
be valid after Amendment Act 54/1994 and

23.3 In the case in hand, driver/respondent no.1 was
having a valid driving license to drive LMV NT and the laden
weight of the vehicle in question is 7250 kg only. So, the
respondent no.1 was holding a valid driving license to drive the
vehicle in question on the date and time of the accident as per
above case law. Hence, the contention of respondent Insurance
Company qua same stands rejected.

23.4 Respondent no.3/Insurance Company has also
contended that the vehicle in question had no permit, therefore, it
is violation of fundamental terms and conditions of insurance
contract and insurance company be exonerated in this matter.
23.5 The vehicle in question certainly had no permit of
any kind at the time of incident. The said facts is clear from DAR
and the evidence of R3W2 on record.

23.6 The insurance policy in question under the head of
limitation as to use provides cover upon use of vehicle only
under permit within meaning of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 or
such a carriage falling under Sub-section 3 of Section 66 of the
Motor Vehicle’s Act 1988. So, there is certainly violation of
terms of insurance contract in this matter. As per decision of
Hon’ble Supreme Court in matter “Amrit Paul Singh & Anr.
Vs. TATA AIG General Insurance Co. Ltd. & Ors.”, Civil
Appeal No. 2253/2018, decided on 17/05/2018, the non
possession of permit is fundamental breach of terms of insurance
contract. Vide amendment to the MV Act notification No. 1 61 dated

25.02.2022, the concept of pay & recover has been done away
with vide effect from 01.04.2022, therefore, respondent
no.3/Insurance Company needs to be exonerated in this matter.
Hence, respondent No.3/Insurance stands exonerated.

no.2 being the owner of the offending vehicle are jointly and
severally liable to pay the awarded amount of compensation to
the petitioners. Hence, respondent no.1 and respondent no.2 are
