A.N.JINDAL,J.
This appeal by the Insurance Company is
directed against the award dated 3.1.2009 passed by
Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Kurukshetra.
An amount to the tune of Rs.3,00,000/- was
awarded against the appellant and respondents 3, 5 7 to
10 in a petition filed under Section 163-A of the Motor
Vehicles Act. Learned counsel for the Insurance
Company has submitted that as two vehicles are
involved, the compensation should have been sought
against all the respondents and not against the
F.A.O.No. 1234 of 2009 (O&M). 2
appellant and respondents 3, 5, 7 to 10. Since it was a
case of composite negligence, therefore, the Tribunal
appears to have awarded compensation against the
owners and the insurers of both the vehicles. As such
finding no merit in the appeal, same is dismissed.
