Sitara Khatoon & Ors vs M\/S.Neelwati Transport Thr.Its on 18 November, 2009<\/div>\n
                             M.A. No. 224 of 2002\n                                      ----\nAgainst the judgment and award dated 2.8.2002 passed by Motor Vehicle\nAccident Claims Tribunal, Dhanbad in Title (MV) Suit No.4\/2000.\n                                     ----\n             Sitara Khatoon & ors.                          ...

Alok Lal & K.P.Choudhary\n                                        ----\n            PRESENT :\n                  THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.Y.EQBAL\n                  THE HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE JAYA ROY\n                               ---\n      Date of CAV:16.11.2009   Date of pronouncement:18.11.2009\n\nM.Y.Eqbal,J:         This appeal by the claimants-appellants is directed against\n\n               the judgment and award dated 2.8.2002 passed by Motor Accident\n\n               Claims Tribunal, Dhanbad in Title (MV) Suit No.4\/2000, whereby he\n\n               has awarded a sum of Rs.1,70,000\/- as compensation and directed\n\n               the owner of the vehicle to pay the said amount of compensation.\n\n               2.    The facts of the case lie in a narrow compass.\n\n                     The claimants case is that the tracker in which the deceased\n\n               was employed as a driver was parked by the side of the road.\n\n               Meanwhile a truck bearing registration No.BR 16G 5857 coming in a\n\n               very high speed dashed the tracker, as a result of which the driver\n\n               of the tracker namely Md. Azad succumbed to the injury. The truck\n\n               was owned by the respondent no.1 whereas respondent no.2 was\n\n               the insurer of the truck. The tribunal, after hearing the parties and\n\n               considering the evidence, came to the conclusion that the deceased\n\n               Md. Azad was the Khalasi in the tracker and the driver of the truck\n\n               was not holding a valid driving licence to drive the heavy motor\n\n               vehicle. Consequently, the Tribunal fastened the liability upon the\n\n               owner of the vehicle.\n\n               3.    In the instant appeal a cross objection was filed by the\n\n               respondent-owner of the vehicle, which was registered as Cross\n                           2\n\n\nObjection No.4\/2007. A Bench of this Court, after hearing the cross\n\nobjection, rejected the same by order dated 20th April, 2007. The\n\nsaid order dated 20th April, 2007 reads as under:-\n\n             \"      This cross-objection purported to be under\n             Order 41 Rule 22 of the Code of Civil Procedure, has\n             been filed by the respondent-owner in the instant\n             M.A.No.224 of 2002.\n                    Miscellaneous Appeal No.224 of 2002 has been\n             filed by the claimant for enhancement of\n             compensation.\n                    It appears from the judgment passed by the\n             Tribunal that the deceased was a 'Khalasi' in a\n             Trecker. While the Trecker was going from one place\n             to another place, it was dashed by a truck. The claim\n             case was filed against the owner and insurer of the\n             truck, who are respondents. The Tribunal held that it\n             was because of the gross negligence of the driver of\n             the truck accident took place. The Tribunal further\n             held that at the relevant time when the accident took\n             place the driver of the truck was holding a licence to\n             drive light motor vehicles. On these findings the\n             Tribunal      awarded     compensation      and   fixed\n             responsibility upon the owner of the truck, due to the\n             reason that it was violation of the provisions of the\n             Motor Vehicles Act as also the Insurance Policy and\n             therefore the Insurance Company has no liability.\n                    Though the judgment and award was passed\n             on 16.8.02, the respondent-owner did not prefer any\n             appeal. Against the impugned award the liability was\n             fixed upon him, the claimants only preferred the\n             Miscellaneous appeal No.224 of 2002 on 4.10.2002.\n             Notice of this appeal was issued and it was served\n             upon the respondent-owner on 13.7.04, but no cross-\n             objection was filed within 30 days as provided under\n             Order 41 Rule 22 of the Code of Civil Procedure. This\n             cross-objection was filed only on 22.3.2007 i.e. about\n             three years from the date of service of notice of\n             appeal upon him. An application under Section 14 of\n             the Limitation Act has been filed for condonation of\n             delay in filing the cross-objection.\n                    We have perused the limitation petition. In\n             para       3      of    the      cross-objection    this\n             appellant\/respondent admitted that he came to know\n             about the award on 13.7.04 on the receipt of the\n             notice sent in M.A.No.224 of 2002 . Therefore,\n             admittedly notice of appeal was served on him and\n             he came to know about the pendency of appeal on\n             13.7.2004<\/pre>\n
. However, it is stated in the condonation
\n             application that when the case was listed for herding
\n             and was likely to be taken up the counsel contacted
\n             the cross-objector\/owner to file affidavit in the
\n             Miscellaneous appeal filed bjy the claimant and after
\n             filing affidavit it was found necessary to file the
\n             present cross-objection.\n<\/p>\n
                    From the impugned order, it appears that the
\n             respondent-owner of the vehicle appeared before the
\n                            3<\/span><\/p>\n
              Tribunal and file written statement and contested the
\n              case. In spite of the fact that the judgment and
\n              award was passed against him, he did not choose to
\n              prefer any appeal. Not only that, after receipt of the
\n              appeal notice he did not file any cross -objection for
\n              about three years. It was only when the appeal was
\n              listed for hearing, this cross-objection has been filed.\n<\/p>\n
                      In the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the
\n              case, we do not find any reason whatsoever to
\n              condone the delay in filing the cross-objection. The
\n              cross-objection is obviously barred by limitation.
\n              Hence the limitation petition (I.A.No.871 of 2007) is
\n              rejected.     Consequently      cross-objection    being
\n              C.O.no.4 of 2007 is dismissed as barred by
\n              limitation.”\n<\/p>\n
4.    After dismissal of the cross objection the respondent- owner<\/p>\n
of the vehicle filed a regular appeal being M.A.No.110\/2007, which<\/p>\n
was also dismissed on 12.6.2007.\n<\/p>\n
5.    The learned counsel appearing for the appellants made two<\/p>\n
fold submissions. Learned counsel firstly submitted that the<\/p>\n
deceased was the driver and not Khalasi in the tracker. Hence the<\/p>\n
compensation awarded is unreasonable and in a very lower side.<\/p>\n
Learned counsel secondly submitted that the liability for payment<\/p>\n
of compensation ought to have been fastened upon the insurer of<\/p>\n
the truck with whom the truck was validly insured.<\/p>\n
6.    So far as the question of liability in between the owner and<\/p>\n
the insurer of the truck is concerned, as noticed above, the cross<\/p>\n
objection as also the appeal filed by the owner of the vehicle has<\/p>\n
been dismissed. Learned counsel appearing for the owner of the<\/p>\n
vehicle has very fairly submitted that even the appeal filed before<\/p>\n
the Supreme Court has been dismissed. However, learned counsel<\/p>\n
for the owner of the vehicle submitted that the amount of<\/p>\n
compensation awarded by the Tribunal is just and reasonable.<\/p>\n
7.    In view of the dismissal of cross objection and appeal by this<\/p>\n
Court and also by the Supreme Court, it would not be proper to go<\/p>\n
into the question with regard to liability of the owner vis-a-vis the<\/p>\n
Insurance Company. The only question, therefore, that falls for
\n                                           4<\/span><\/p>\n
            consideration is as to whether the amount of compensation<\/p>\n
            awarded by the Tribunal is just and reasonable.<\/p>\n
            8.      Admittedly, the deceased was 25 years of age and died in a<\/p>\n
            motor accident leaving behind one minor son, two minor daughters<\/p>\n
            and parents. According to the claimants the deceased was<\/p>\n
            employed as a driver and his monthly income was Rs.3000\/-<\/p>\n
            excluding daily meal allowance. The tribunal awarded only a sum of<\/p>\n
            Rs.1,70,000\/-.\n<\/p>\n
            9.      Even assuming that the deceased was a khalasi, evidence<\/p>\n
            was led by the claimants that his monthly earnings was Rs.3000\/-<\/p>\n
            in addition to daily meal allowance, the Tribunal ought not to have<\/p>\n
            taken    notional   income     for   the    purpose    of   assessing     the<\/p>\n
            compensation. It is not a case where the deceased was non-<\/p>\n
            earnings member rather he was employed either as a driver or a<\/p>\n
            khalasi. In any event the monthly income of the deceased is taken<\/p>\n
            as Rs.2500\/-. The annual dependency comes to Rs.20,000\/- and if<\/p>\n
            we take the multiplier of 15 the minimum compensation comes to<\/p>\n
            Rs.3.00 lacs. In our considered opinion, after considering the facts<\/p>\n
            and evidence, the compensation of Rs.3.00 lacs shall be just and<\/p>\n
            reasonable compensation.\n<\/p>\n
            10.     We,   therefore,     allow   this   appeal    and   enhance       the<\/p>\n
            compensation amount to Rs.3.00 lacs and direct the respondent-<\/p>\n
            owner of the vehicle to pay the said compensation amount to the<\/p>\n
            claimants.<\/p>\n
\n\n                                                                  (M.Y. Eqbal, J. )\n\n\n\n         Jaya Roy,J.:                                             (Jaya Roy,J.)\n\n\n\nJharkhand High Court, Ranchi,\nThe 18th November, 2009,\nPandey\/A.F.R.\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
