Appellant is the owner<\/p>\n<p>of a bus bearing registration No.KLG 6401.   According to the appellant,<\/p>\n<p>a   Jeep   bearing   registration   No.KL9A   8433   driven   by   the   second<\/p>\n<p>respondent and owned by the first respondent hit the bus.  Consequently,<\/p>\n<p>the bus caught fire and the bus was completely damaged.   He claimed a<\/p>\n<p>compensation of Rs.3,07,878\/=.  Driver of the bus was examined as PW3.\n<\/p>\n<p>The owner of the bus was examined as PW1.  Surveyor was examined as<\/p>\n<p>PW2.  Police records like F.I.R., scene mahazar, Motor Vehicle Inspctor&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>report, survey report etc. were marked.   Tribunal found that there is no<\/p>\n<p>direct evidence to show that the fire broke out due to the accident and,<\/p>\n<p>therefore,   application   was   dismissed.     After   considering   the   scene<\/p>\n<p>mahazar,   the   Tribunal   found   that   road   at   the   place   of   accident   lies   in<\/p>\n<p>north-south   direction   with   a   sharp   curve   to   the   east   from   the   northern<\/p>\n<p>end.     The   jeep   came   from   north   to   south   and   almost   completed<\/p>\n<p>negotiating   the   curve.     Whereas   the   bus   was   about   to   negotiate   the<\/p>\n<p>curve.  The Tribunal further found as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MFA.388\/2001                                 2<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                   &#8220;The road at the point of accident possessed<\/p>\n<p>           a   width   of   6.65   metres   and   road   margins   of   2<\/p>\n<p>           metres   width   on  the  eastern  side   and   1.5  metres<\/p>\n<p>           width  on   the  western   side.     The   collision  point   is<\/p>\n<p>           noted   as   5.36metres   towards   west   from   the<\/p>\n<p>           eastern  fringe   of   tarred   road.     Exts.A3   and   A3(a)<\/p>\n<p>           are   the   MVI   reports   of   vehicle   involved   in   the<\/p>\n<p>           accident.   The jeep suffered   damages on its front<\/p>\n<p>           right   side   whereas   the   bus   suffered   heavy   hit<\/p>\n<p>           impact on the front side, and it was found in burnt<\/p>\n<p>           state.  The diesel tank portion was totally dented.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>PW3  also stated  that the jeep  driver  was  rash  and   negligent  and  he<\/p>\n<p>turned   the   bus   only   to   reduce   the   damages,   but,     it   hit   against   the<\/p>\n<p>guard   stones   and   thereby   caused   heavy   damages   to   the   front   side<\/p>\n<p>also.  The Tribunal from the above found as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                   &#8220;The   scene   mahazar   facts   would   show   that<\/p>\n<p>           the   jeep   driver   Sayed   was   negligent   in   causing<\/p>\n<p>           the accident.  He almost negotiated the curve and<\/p>\n<p>           was   coming   down   towards   southern   direction<\/p>\n<p>           after crossing the midline of road.   So it can very<\/p>\n<p>           well to be found that the driver of jeep was totally<\/p>\n<p>           negligent.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Tribunal also found that jeep hit at the rear belly portion of the bus,<\/p>\n<p>where the diesel tank was located.   Consequently, the bus hit on the<\/p>\n<p>guard stones and the front side was also damaged.  Therefore,   it was<\/p>\n<p>not   a   head   on   collision.       Immediately   after   the   collision,   the   bus<\/p>\n<p>turned to the road margin where the guard stones were put up.   Then<\/p>\n<p>the passengers got down which avoided human loss.  By the time, the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MFA.388\/2001                                    3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>bus caught fire.  The Tribunal also found as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                    &#8220;25.   So   it   follows   that   PW3   also   was<\/p>\n<p>            negligent in driving the bus while negotiating the<\/p>\n<p>            curve towards the midline of road and then rashly<\/p>\n<p>            drove   it   down   to   the   eastern   margin;   where   the<\/p>\n<p>            guard stones are placed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                    26. So it is found that PW3 was also equally<\/p>\n<p>            negligent in causing the accident.   His degree of<\/p>\n<p>            negligence   is   assessed   at   50%.     Whereas   the<\/p>\n<p>            driver   of   jeep   is   totally   negligent   and   he   was<\/p>\n<p>            100% careless and negligent.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So,   the   finding   of   the   Tribunal   is   that   jeep   driver   was   negligent   by<\/p>\n<p>100%, but, 50% negligence was attributed to the bus driver because<\/p>\n<p>he   hit   on   the   guard   stones   which   was   only   a   consequential   hitting<\/p>\n<p>while trying to reduce the damages caused.   But, on the assumption<\/p>\n<p>that   there   is   no   evidence   to   show   that   how   fire   occurred,   the<\/p>\n<p>application was  dismissed.   We are of  the opinion that fire occurred<\/p>\n<p>only   due   to   the   impact   of   the   hit   of   the   jeep     and   the   jeep   driver&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>negligence   is   very   evident.     In   any   case,   at   the   maximum   25%<\/p>\n<p>negligence   can   be   attributed   to   bus   driver   and   fire   occurred   only<\/p>\n<p>because jeep hit on the rear belly portion where the diesel tank was<\/p>\n<p>located   as   found   by   the   Tribunal.     Jeep   driver   was   negligent   and<\/p>\n<p>consequently   insurance   company   of   the   jeep   is   liable   to   pay   75%<\/p>\n<p>compensation   as   we   apportion   75%   4negligence   on   the   jeep   driver.\n<\/p>\n<p>Bus   was   completely   burnt.     Surveyor   has   assessed   an   amount   of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">MFA.388\/2001                                      4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Rs.3,05,662\/=   as   the   damages   caused.       It   is   contended   by   the<\/p>\n<p>insurance   company   that   the   surveyor   did   not   take   into   account   the<\/p>\n<p>depreciation for finding out the amount due for the damages caused.\n<\/p>\n<p>The   matter   is   remanded   for   assessing   the   damages.   The   Tribunal<\/p>\n<p>shall assess the damages caused to the appellant and then 75% of the<\/p>\n<p>same   should   be   deposited   by   the   insurance   company   which   insured<\/p>\n<p>the jeep.  Both parties are allowed to adduce further evidence before<\/p>\n<p>the Tribunal.  Parties shall appear before the Tribunal on 1.04.2008.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                            J.B.KOSHY<\/p>\n<p>                                                                               JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                   K.HEMA<\/p>\n<p>                                                                              JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>tks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Managing Partner vs Shri.M.Mammu on 28 January, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM MFA No. 388 of 2001() 1.
