M.A.C.A.No.759\/2009 is by the Managing Director,<\/p>\n<p>KSRTC, the owner of the offending vehicle ( first respondent in the<\/p>\n<p>O.P.) and M.A.C.A.No.25\/2009 is by the claimants.<\/p>\n<p>      3.    The facts leading to these appeals in brief are these :<\/p>\n<p>      Deceased Biju was an Excise Guard in the Excise Circle Office,<\/p>\n<p>Irinjalakkuda and was drawing a salary of Rs.5065\/- and was aged 29<\/p>\n<p>at the time of his death. Deceased was riding his motor cycle bearing<\/p>\n<p>Reg.No.KL-8\/V-7282 from Thrissur to Angamaly on February 5, 2003<\/p>\n<p>at about 9.15 a.m.       When he reached in front of Premier Cable<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MACA.No.759\/2009                    2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Company at Karukutty , a KSRTC bus bearing Reg.No. KL 15\/4081<\/p>\n<p>came at a high speed and dashed against the motor cycle of the<\/p>\n<p>deceased . Deceased sustained very serious injuries and he succumbed<\/p>\n<p>to the injuries sustained while undergoing treatment at the Little Flower<\/p>\n<p>Hospital, Angamaly.       Claimants are the wife and minor child of<\/p>\n<p>deceased. According to them, the accident occurred due to the rash and<\/p>\n<p>negligent driving of bus by its driver, the second respondent. First<\/p>\n<p>respondent as the owner, second respondent as the driver and third<\/p>\n<p>respondent as the insurer of the offending bus are jointly and severally<\/p>\n<p>liable to pay compensation to the claimants.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.     Fourth respondent is the insurer of the motor cycle of the<\/p>\n<p>deceased. Respondents 1 and 2 filed written statements contending that<\/p>\n<p>the accident occurred due to the negligence on the part of the deceased,<\/p>\n<p>that deceased knocked down a pedestrian and the deceased fell down<\/p>\n<p>on the road and sustained injuries and that the bus did not hit the motor<\/p>\n<p>cycle. The third respondent, the insurer of the offending bus filed a<\/p>\n<p>written statement denying the liability. The fourth respondent, the<\/p>\n<p>insurer of the motor cycle of the deceased filed a written statement<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MACA.No.759\/2009                   3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>admitting the policy, but contending that the accident occurred due to<\/p>\n<p>the negligence of the second respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>      5.    PWs 1 and 2 were examined and Exts.A1 to A7 were<\/p>\n<p>marked on the side of the claimants. On the side of respondents 1 to 3,<\/p>\n<p>RW1 was examined. On an appreciation of evidence, the Tribunal<\/p>\n<p>found that the accident occurred due to the negligence on the part of the<\/p>\n<p>deceased as well as the second respondent and apportioned the liability<\/p>\n<p>to the extent of 25% and 75% respectively and assessed a<\/p>\n<p>compensation of Rs.7,65,760\/-and after deducting 25%, awarded a<\/p>\n<p>compensation of Rs. 5,74,320\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p>      6.    First respondent in the O.P., the KSRTC filed the appeal<\/p>\n<p>MACA.No.759\/2009 challenging the finding of the Tribunal regarding<\/p>\n<p>negligence. The claimants filed the appeal M.A.C.A.N.25\/2009 mainly<\/p>\n<p>challenging the finding of the Tribunal regarding contributory<\/p>\n<p>negligence on the part of the deceased.\n<\/p>\n<p>      7.    Heard the counsel for the appellants in both the appeals and<\/p>\n<p>the Insurance Company.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MACA.No.759\/2009                   4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      8.    The following points arise for consideration :<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                1.   Whether the finding of the Tribunal that<\/p>\n<p>          the accident occurred due to the negligence on the part<\/p>\n<p>          of the deceased as well as the second respondent can<\/p>\n<p>          be sustained ?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                2.   Whether the claimants are entitled to any<\/p>\n<p>          enhanced compensation ?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"hidden_text\">      Point Nos. 1 and 2<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>      9.    Counsel for the appellant-KSRTC argued that no damage<\/p>\n<p>was caused to the bus as seen from the report of the MVI, Ext.A5 and<\/p>\n<p>also that RW1, the driver of the bus testified that the bus did not hit the<\/p>\n<p>motor cycle and that therefore Tribunal went wrong in holding that the<\/p>\n<p>accident occurred due to the negligence of the first respondent. We are<\/p>\n<p>unable to agree. Merely because there was no damage to the KSRTC,<\/p>\n<p>it does not ipso facto show that it did not hit the motor cycle. As<\/p>\n<p>correctly observed by the Tribunal that mere touching of the KSRTC<\/p>\n<p>bus would have caused the deceased to loose the control of the motor<\/p>\n<p>cycle. RW1, the driver of the KSRTC though would say that the bus<\/p>\n<p>did not hit the motor cycle, admitted that when he appeared before the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MACA.No.759\/2009                   5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Criminal Court, he pleaded guilty and he was convicted therein. It is<\/p>\n<p>clear from the above that there was also negligence on his part. That<\/p>\n<p>apart, the motor cycle was seen on the middle of the road which shows<\/p>\n<p>that there was also negligence on the part of the deceased. That being<\/p>\n<p>so, the Tribunal is perfectly justified in finding that the accident<\/p>\n<p>occurred due to the negligence on the part of the deceased as well as<\/p>\n<p>the second respondent and apportioning the liability as 75% on the part<\/p>\n<p>of second respondent and 25% on the part of the deceased.<\/p>\n<p>      10.  As regards the compensation awarded by the Tribunal, we<\/p>\n<p>find the same to be reasonable and therefore are not disturbing the<\/p>\n<p>same. That being so, both the appeals have to be dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>      In the result, both the appeals are dismissed. Parties shall bear<\/p>\n<p>their own costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                         A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>                                       P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>sv.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MACA.No.759\/2009    6<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MACA.No.759\/2009    7<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Hency Biju vs Managing Director on 26 May, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM MACA.No. 25 of 2009() 1.
