In the meanwhile<\/p>\n<p>the offending vehicle owned and being driven by respondent no.1,<\/p>\n<p>Gulab Singh in a rash, negligent manner and at a high speed, came<\/p>\n<p>from opposite side. Due to high speed, the driver could not control<\/p>\n<p>the offending vehicle and hit appellant-claimant. In the process the<\/p>\n<p>claimant was dragged by the offending vehicle to some distance.<\/p>\n<p>Father of the appellant alongwith the crowd that gathered there<\/p>\n<p>retrieved the injured appellant from beneath the offending vehicle in<\/p>\n<p>an unconscious state. He was rushed to Civil Hospital, Naraingarh,<\/p>\n<p>from where, on account of his precarious medical condition, he was<\/p>\n<p>referred to Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education &amp;<\/p>\n<p>Research, Chandigarh (PGI) where he remained admitted for three<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO.4533\/2008(O&amp;M)                                      -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>days i.e. from 22.6.2006 to 24.6.2006. Thereafter the appellant-<\/p>\n<p>injured claimant was got admitted to Sant Ram Hospital, Ambala<\/p>\n<p>City on 24.6.2006, where he remained admitted till 22.8.2006. The<\/p>\n<p>claim petition was filed on 23.12.2006 stating therein that appellant<\/p>\n<p>had not fully recovered by that time and was still under treatment,<\/p>\n<p>which had already cost him approximately Rs.2 lacs.<\/p>\n<p>            Three months after the accident in question an FIR was<\/p>\n<p>got registered with the police against the offending vehicle in which<\/p>\n<p>respondent no.1 was stated to have been facing trial under Sections<\/p>\n<p>279,337 and 338 IPC.\n<\/p>\n<p>            Appellant filed claim petition no.80 of 2006, in which<\/p>\n<p>the impugned award dated 28.7.2008 came to be passed, dismissing<\/p>\n<p>his claim. Hence the present appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>            I have heard learned counsel for the appellant-injured<\/p>\n<p>claimant.\n<\/p>\n<p>            It is contended by the counsel for the appellant that<\/p>\n<p>there was ample evidence on record to prove the involvement of the<\/p>\n<p>offending vehicle in the accident in question but the        learned<\/p>\n<p>Tribunal failed to properly appreciate the same and dismissed his<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO.4533\/2008(O&amp;M)                                       -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>claim petition. It is further contended that the appellant is still in<\/p>\n<p>coma, but the learned Tribunal dismissed his claim petition simply<\/p>\n<p>on the ground that there was a delay of three months in lodging the<\/p>\n<p>FIR.\n<\/p>\n<p>            I have carefully gone through the impugned award.<\/p>\n<p>            It may be mentioned here that    respondent no.1-driver-<\/p>\n<p>cum-owner of the offending vehicle though contested the claim<\/p>\n<p>petition but neither examined himself nor led any documentary<\/p>\n<p>evidence nor did he examine any witness in support of his case.<\/p>\n<p>            On the other hand, respondent no.2-Insurance Company<\/p>\n<p>tendered insurance policy as Ex.R-1 and closed its evidence. It was<\/p>\n<p>contended on behalf of respondent no.2-Insurance Company that n o<\/p>\n<p>accident, as alleged, took place with the offending vehicle and the<\/p>\n<p>claim petition had been falsely instituted in collusion with<\/p>\n<p>respondent no.1-driver-cum-owner.\n<\/p>\n<p>            The reasons given by the learned Tribunal for dismissing<\/p>\n<p>the claim petition are well founded and no fault can be found with<\/p>\n<p>the same.\n<\/p>\n<p>            As per claimant&#8217;s version the accident had taken place in<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO.4533\/2008(O&amp;M)                                       -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the presence of his parents. At that time a crowd had also gathered<\/p>\n<p>there. However, none of the witness from general public was<\/p>\n<p>examined.\n<\/p>\n<p>            Though, it was averred in the claim petition that<\/p>\n<p>immediately after the accident the injured appellant was rushed<\/p>\n<p>firstly to Civil Hospital, Naraingarh and thereafter to PGI,<\/p>\n<p>Chandigarh, in support of which Dr. R.C.Jindal, Medical Officer,<\/p>\n<p>Civil Hospital,Ambala City and Dr. S.R. Arora were examined as<\/p>\n<p>PW2 and PW3. Except producing OPD Card\/Ticket of PGI, Sant<\/p>\n<p>Hospital and Sarwal Hospital as mark D,E and F respectively and<\/p>\n<p>medical bills, no other documentary evidence was proved by these<\/p>\n<p>witnesses which may indicate that it was a road side accident.<\/p>\n<p>            It is common knowledge, as noticed by the Tribunal, that<\/p>\n<p>after an injured is brought to &#8220;Emergency&#8221; in a State run Civil<\/p>\n<p>Hospital or Medical Institute of PGI&#8217;s repute, the first question that<\/p>\n<p>Doctors, while taking history, puts to the attendant(s) is the manner<\/p>\n<p>in which injuries were suffered by the victim.     In case, injured is<\/p>\n<p>stated to have received injuries in a     road side accident, every<\/p>\n<p>Emergency Medical Officer, sends information to police about<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO.4533\/2008(O&amp;M)                                      -6-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>arrival of Medico Legal Case.\n<\/p>\n<p>            In this case the injured was brought to Civil Hospital,<\/p>\n<p>Naraingarh\/PGI by none else than the father of the appellant-injured<\/p>\n<p>claimant. Nothing has come on record as to what stopped the father<\/p>\n<p>of the appellant from telling the truth vis a vis the accident in<\/p>\n<p>question. Lakhvinder Singh,PW1, father of the appellant tried to fill<\/p>\n<p>up this lacuna by stating that the police was informed about the<\/p>\n<p>accident but his statement was not recorded. This story has rightly<\/p>\n<p>been rejected by the learned Tribunal by observing that if the lower<\/p>\n<p>police staff did not record his statement, he could have reported the<\/p>\n<p>matter to the higher authorities.\n<\/p>\n<p>            Another factor which corroborates the stand of the<\/p>\n<p>respondent no.2-Insurance Company, about the fallacy of the claim<\/p>\n<p>petition, is that the FIR in the instant case was lodged 3 months<\/p>\n<p>after the occurrence of the accident in question. To explain the<\/p>\n<p>delay in lodging the FIR, Lakhvinder Singh,PW-1 stated that he<\/p>\n<p>was busy in connection with treatment of his injured son.        This<\/p>\n<p>explanation was also rightly not accepted by the Tribunal by holding<\/p>\n<p>that other relatives\/friends could have brought the incident to the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO NO.4533\/2008(O&amp;M)                                         -7-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>notice of the police to get a case registered.\n<\/p>\n<p>             The authority Manoj v. Samunder Singh and others,<\/p>\n<p>2005 ACJ, 520 (Madhya Pradesh) relied upon by the learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>for the appellant to contend that even delay of one year is not fatal to<\/p>\n<p>the appellant&#8217;s case, is not applicable to the instant case.        In the<\/p>\n<p>reported though the FIR was lodged after one year but the driver had<\/p>\n<p>admitted the involvement of offending vehicle being driven by him<\/p>\n<p>in the accident.\n<\/p>\n<p>             In view of the facts and circumstances of the case in<\/p>\n<p>hand and evidence produced by the parties, I am of the considered<\/p>\n<p>opinion that the learned Tribunal has rightly rejected the claim<\/p>\n<p>petition and no fault can be found with the same.<\/p>\n<p>             Accordingly, finding no merit in the appeal the same is<\/p>\n<p>hereby dismissed in limine.<\/p>\n<pre>\n\n\n\n20.2.2009.
