Rule is served to respondent No.2 but, no<br \/>\nappearance is filed by him.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\tPresent<br \/>\nappeal is filed by Insured ?  M\/s.Pratap &amp; Co. through its<br \/>\npartner Shri N.K.Bhattiya, challenging the award passed by claims<br \/>\nTribunal in MACP No.599 of 1992 dated 18.2.2000 whereby the claims<br \/>\nTribunal has awarded Rs.84,000\/- with 12% interest to be paid by<br \/>\nappellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tLearned<br \/>\nadvocate Mr.R.C.Kakkad submitted that claims Tribunal has committed<br \/>\ngross error in exonerating the Insurance Co. from the liability. He<br \/>\nsubmitted that insurance policy was obtained for Tractor<br \/>\nNo.GJ-10-9996 and at the date of accident, the insurance policy was<br \/>\nin existence. Therefore, it was a legal obligation under the contract<br \/>\nto pay the compensation to the labourer, who died in the accident,<br \/>\nwhich occurred on 3.8.1992. Therefore, according to him, the<br \/>\nInsurance Co. is liable for the payment of compensation and claims<br \/>\nTribunal has committed gross error in exonerating the Insurance Co.<br \/>\nfrom its liability.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tLearned<br \/>\nadvocate Mr.Nair appearing for respondent No.3 Insurance Co.<br \/>\nsubmitted that deceased Ranmal Karamshi, who was the labourer, going<br \/>\nin the trolley attached to the tractor and because of rash and<br \/>\nnegligent driving of opponent No.1 driver, the accident took place<br \/>\nand looking to the policy Exh.32, the tractor as well as trolley, the<br \/>\nInsurance Co. is not liable to pay compensation because labourers are<br \/>\nnot included in the insurance policy except 3rd party and<br \/>\ndriver of tractor. Therefore, he specifically raised contention that<br \/>\nlabourers those who are sitting in the trolley, they are not included<br \/>\nin the Insurance policy and no additional premium was paid by<br \/>\ninsured. Therefore, the Insurance Co. has rightly been exonerated by<br \/>\nthe claims Tribunal. For that, according to him, the claims Tribunal<br \/>\nhas not committed any error which requires interference by this<br \/>\nCourt. He relied upon the decision of Apex Court in case of United<br \/>\nIndia Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Serjerao and others reported in AIR 2008<br \/>\nSC 460 wherein it is held that labourers travelling in<br \/>\ntractor-trolley, the Insurance Co. is not liable.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tI<br \/>\nhave considered the submissions made by learned advocates appearing<br \/>\nfor the respective parties and also perused the award passed by<br \/>\nclaims Tribunal. It is necessary to note one important fact that<br \/>\npresent appellant had remained absent before the claims Tribunal, no<br \/>\nreply was filed, no contention raised before the claims Tribunal and<br \/>\nno evidence was led in support of his defence before the claims<br \/>\nTribunal. Therefore, practically, for challenging the award has no<br \/>\nmeaning and purpose by insured. However, under Section 173 of the MV<br \/>\nAct the insured covered by definition of &#8216;aggrieved persons&#8217; and<br \/>\ntherefore, he can file the appeal. Therefore, the present appeal<br \/>\nfiled by appellant is considered by this Court in light of aforesaid<br \/>\nfacts.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tThe<br \/>\naccident occurred on 3.8.1992 where one Ranmal had expired and<br \/>\nthereafter, his father has filed this application, who also died on<br \/>\n5.12.1995 and therefore, his legal heirs were joined as party. On<br \/>\n3.8.1992, Ranmal Karamshi was working as labourer, travelling in<br \/>\ntractor-trolley  and at that time, because of rash and negligent<br \/>\ndriving of tractor driver, the accident occurred and labourer died.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tBefore<br \/>\nthe claims Tribunal, the Insurance Co. has filed reply and also cited<br \/>\ncertain decisions. Thereafter, issues were framed vide Exh.9 and<br \/>\nthereafter, it has been examined by claims Tribunal. The claims<br \/>\nTribunal has considered the question of liability in Para.9. The<br \/>\nTrolley registration No.GH-10-T-3332 and RC book of trolley is<br \/>\nproduced at Exh.29. The tractor and trolley both are separate<br \/>\nvehicles. Present appellant who is the owner of tractor and trolley<br \/>\nand both the vehicles were insured with respondent No.3. The<br \/>\ncertified copy of policy was produced at Exh.37. Looking to the<br \/>\npolicy of tractor and trolley where except driver, no premium was<br \/>\npaid by insured in favour of labourer. Therefore, in tractor and<br \/>\ntrolley except driver, no risk is covered. The insured has paid only<br \/>\nRs.15\/- for the driver being additional amount and therefore, looking<br \/>\nto the policy, only risk of driver is covered and rest of labourers<br \/>\nare not covered and on that basis, the claims Tribunal has considered<br \/>\nExh.37. According to policy, risk of labourers are not covered and<br \/>\ntherefore, the Insurance Co. is not liable to pay the compensation.<br \/>\nThe labourers cannot consider to be a 3rd party and on<br \/>\nthat basis, the award is passed by claims Tribunal. Before the claims<br \/>\nTribunal, insured was not able to point out that some additional<br \/>\npremium covering the risk of labourers paid by him. The claims<br \/>\nTribunal has considered the certified copy of insurance policy Exh.37<br \/>\nand thereafter, come to conclusion that risk of labourers are not<br \/>\ncovered and therefore, insured is liable and not the Insurance Co.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tTherefore,<br \/>\naccording to my opinion, the contention raised by learned advocate<br \/>\nMr.R.C.Kakkad cannot be accepted in light of the aforesaid documents<br \/>\nand discussion made by claims Tribunal. Therefore, according to my<br \/>\nopinion, there is no substance in the present appeal. Accordingly,<br \/>\npresent appeal is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.\tIf<br \/>\nthe amount deposited for the purpose of this appeal is lying with the<br \/>\nRegistry of this Court, same shall be transmitted to the claims<br \/>\nTribunal concerned forthwith.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\tIn<br \/>\nview of the order passed in main First Appeal, no order is required<br \/>\nto be passed in CA No.4871 of 2000 and same is disposed of<br \/>\naccordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p> (H.K.RATHOD,J.) <\/p>\n<p>(vipul)<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Pratap vs Vala on 6 May, 2011 Author: H.K.Rathod,&amp;Nbsp;
