JUDGMENT
The second petitioner is the present registered owner of a
motor car bearing registration No.KL- 40 B 8357. The first
petitioner was the former owner. The said vehicle met with an
accident on 6.11.2010. At that time it was driven by
Sri.P.M.Abdulla. Though he possessed a licence to drive transport
vehicles upto 27.2.2011 the licence to drive non-transport
vehicles was valid only till 16.5.2009. It appears that in view of
that the claim submitted by the second petitioner was not
considered. This writ petition was thereupon filed seeking a
direction to the first respondent, the insurer to settle the claim
expeditiously. When the writ petition came up for hearing today
Sri.Rajan P.Kaliyath, learned counsel appearing for the insurer,
submitted that pursuant to the directions issued by the insurer the
driving licence issued to Sri.P.M.Abdulla was renewed and
submitted to the insurer and that in view of the changed
circumstances the insurer will consider his claim for
W.P(C).No.1134 of 2011
-:2:-
reimbursement of the expenses incurred for repairing the car and
take a decision thereon expeditiously.
In the light of the said submission I dispose of the writ
petition with a direction to the insurer to process the claim
submitted by the second petitioner and take an appropriate
decision thereon expeditiously and in any event within two weeks
from today.
P.N.RAVINDRAN,
Judge.
