Barkath Ali, J.\n<\/p>\n
      Appellant is the respondent No.2 in O.P.(MV) No. 839<\/p>\n
of 2004 on the file of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal,<\/p>\n
Thodupuzha. In this appeal he challenges the judgment and<\/p>\n
award of the Tribunal dated January 25, 2008 awarding a<\/p>\n
compensation of Rs.3,60,000 against respondents 1, 2 and 5<\/p>\n
in the O.P. for the loss caused to the claimants on account<\/p>\n
of death of one Jessi Sibi in a motor accident.<\/p>\n
      2. Claimants are the two minor children and husband<\/p>\n
of deceased Jessi Sibi. The accident happened on May 16,<\/p>\n
2004 at about 12 O’ Clock in the noon while deceased was<\/p>\n
travelling in car bearing registration No.KET\/5621 along<\/p>\n
Kochi – Madurai National Highway. When they reached at<\/p>\n
Thonnioka in Iykkaranadu Village a K.S..R.T.C. bus bearing<\/p>\n
registration No.KL.15\/1903 hit on the rear side of the car,<\/p>\n
as a result of which, respondent No.2 who was driving the<\/p>\n
car lost control and the car hit an auto-rickshaw bearing<\/p>\n
MACA 876\/2009                  2<\/span><\/p>\n
registration No.KL-7A\/9348. She sustained serious injuries<\/p>\n
and succumbed to the injuries sustained while undergoing<\/p>\n
treatment in the hospital. Alleging negligence against the<\/p>\n
driver of the above three vehicles, the claimants filed the<\/p>\n
O.P. before the Tribunal claiming a compensation of Rs.6<\/p>\n
lakhs.\n<\/p>\n
      3. Respondent No.1 in the O.P. is the Managing<\/p>\n
Director of the K.S.R.T.C. and respondent No.2 is the<\/p>\n
owner-cum-driver of the offending car. Respondent No.4 in<\/p>\n
the O.P. is the insurer of the car and auto-rickshaw involved<\/p>\n
in the accident and respondent No.3 is the owner of the<\/p>\n
auto-rickshaw. Respondent Nos.5 and 6 in the O.P. are the<\/p>\n
driver of the bus and driver of the auto-rickshaw<\/p>\n
respectively.\n<\/p>\n
      4. Respondents Nos.1, 3 and 6 in the O.P. remained<\/p>\n
absent before the Tribunal. Respondent No.2 filed a written<\/p>\n
statement admitting the accident but attributed negligence<\/p>\n
to the driver of the K.S.R.T.C. bus. Respondent No.5 driver<\/p>\n
of the K.S.R.T.C. bus filed a written statement admitting the<\/p>\n
accident but attributed negligence on the part of the driver<\/p>\n
MACA 876\/2009                  3<\/span><\/p>\n
of the car. Respondent No.4 Insurance Company admitted<\/p>\n
the policy of the vehicles.\n<\/p>\n
      5. This petition was jointly tried along with another<\/p>\n
O.P. filed by the injured daughter of the deceased and a<\/p>\n
common award was passed. PWs.1 and 2 were examined<\/p>\n
and Exts.A1 to A18 were marked on the side of the<\/p>\n
claimants. RW1 was examined and Exts.B1 and B2 were<\/p>\n
marked on the side of the respondents. On an appreciation<\/p>\n
of the evidence, the Tribunal found that the accident<\/p>\n
occurred due to negligence of respondents 5 and 2 in the<\/p>\n
O.P., drivers of K.S.R.T.C. bus and car respectively, and<\/p>\n
awarded a compensation of Rs.3,60,000\/- with interest at<\/p>\n
the rate of 8% p.a. from the date of petition till realization<\/p>\n
and    proportionate    cost.   The   Tribunal    exonerated<\/p>\n
respondent No.4 Insurance Company from the liability as<\/p>\n
the policy issued to the offending car was an Act only policy<\/p>\n
and that therefore the risk of passengers in the car were not<\/p>\n
covered by the said policy. Respondent No.2, the owner-<\/p>\n
cum-driver of the car, has come up in appeal challenging<\/p>\n
the said finding of the Tribunal.\n<\/p>\n
MACA 876\/2009                 4<\/span><\/p>\n
      6. Heard the learned counsel for the appellant and<\/p>\n
learned counsel for the third respondents 1 to 3\/claimants<\/p>\n
and that of the Insurance Company.\n<\/p>\n
      7. The following points arise for consideration:-<\/p>\n
      1) Whether the finding of the Tribunal that
\n          respondent No.2, driver of the car, and
\n          respondent No.5, driver of the K.S.R.T.C.
\n          bus, are equally negligent in causing the
\n          accident can be sustained?\n<\/p>\n
       2) Whether the finding of the Tribunal that the
\n          risk of the passengers in the car is not
\n          covered    by  the    policy   and   thereby
\n          exonerating the Insurance Company can be
\n          sustained?\n<\/p>\n
      8. The Tribunal found that the accident occurred due<\/p>\n
to negligence of the drivers of the bus and the car i.e.,<\/p>\n
respondents 5 and 2 respectively. At the time of the<\/p>\n
accident the car was overtaking the auto-rickshaw. The<\/p>\n
K.S.R.T.C. bus hit the car from behind and the car hit the<\/p>\n
auto-rickshaw. The place of incident is a curve. The F.I.R.<\/p>\n
was registered against the driver of the bus, but the charge<\/p>\n
was laid against the driver of the car. Taking into<\/p>\n
consideration all these aspects, we are of the view that the<\/p>\n
Tribunal is perfectly justified in holding that the accident<\/p>\n
MACA 876\/2009                  5<\/span><\/p>\n
occurred due to negligence of drivers of the car as well as<\/p>\n
that of the bus and making them liable at the ratio of 50 :<\/p>\n
50.<\/p>\n
       9. The next question to be considered is whether the<\/p>\n
risk of the passengers travelling in the car is covered by the<\/p>\n
policy. Admittedly the policy issued was an Act only policy,<\/p>\n
which does not cover the risk of the passengers in the<\/p>\n
vehicle. Therefore, the Tribunal is perfectly justified in<\/p>\n
exonerating respondent No.4 Insurance company. For all<\/p>\n
these reasons we find no merit in the appeal and the same<\/p>\n
is liable to be dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
       In the result, the appeal is dismissed. No cost.<\/p>\n
                                          A.K.BASHEER,
\n                                          JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n
                                          P.Q. BARKATH ALI,
\n                                          JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n
