The brief<\/p>\n<p>facts which requires consideration are as follows: The bus insured by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant belonged to one Muraleedharan Pillai. There was a policy taken<\/p>\n<p>by Muraleedharan Pillai on 10.4.2002 to 9.4.2003. It is the contention that<\/p>\n<p>the said Muraleedharan Pillai had transferred the vehicle to one Mini Prabha<\/p>\n<p>on 22.2.2003. It is submitted that this Muraleedharan Pillai submitted an<\/p>\n<p>application for renewal of the policy on 17.4.2003 and a policy was issued<\/p>\n<p>in the name of said Muraleedharan Pillai from 17.4.2003 to 16.4.2004. The<\/p>\n<p>accident had taken place on 16.7.2003. Learned counsel for the insurance<\/p>\n<p>company would contend that since the sale has been effected on 22.2.2003<\/p>\n<p>and as Mini Prabha had become the owner in possession of the vehicle on<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">MACA 2625\/08 &amp; con.cases             -:2:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>that   day onwards, the proposal filed by the previous owner, viz., the<\/p>\n<p>Muraleedharan Pillai amounts to fraud and it was at a point of time when<\/p>\n<p>he does not have any right or possession over the vehicle and therefore the<\/p>\n<p>policy issued in his name would not cover the field and therefore the<\/p>\n<p>insurance company has to be exonerated from the liability.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">       2. On the other hand, the learned counsel for     Mini Prabha would<\/p>\n<p>contend before me that though there was a sale the registration was<\/p>\n<p>transferred in the name of Mini Prabha only on 28.5.2003 and therefore at<\/p>\n<p>the time of applying for the issuance of a policy in the form of renewal, the<\/p>\n<p>registered owner continued to be Muraleedharan Pillai and therefore there<\/p>\n<p>was nothing wrong in taking the policy in the name of Muraleedharan<\/p>\n<p>Pillai. Since the fiction under <a href=\"\/doc\/161412796\/\" id=\"a_1\">Section 157<\/a> of the Motor Vehicles Act deals<\/p>\n<p>with the question of a deemed transfer and as the lady has become the<\/p>\n<p>owner, subsequently by change of registration, it is contended that there is a<\/p>\n<p>valid policy in existence and so the insurance company is bound to pay the<\/p>\n<p>amount.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">       3. Learned counsel for the insurance company would contend and<\/p>\n<p>argue that the endorsement and the evidence tendered in the case would<\/p>\n<p>indicate that there was transfer of permit as early as on 22.2.2003 and<\/p>\n<p>therefore the policy could not have been taken in the name of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">MACA 2625\/08 &amp; con.cases             -:3:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Muraleedharan Pillai. Learned counsel for Mini Prabha had produced a<\/p>\n<p>notarized copy of the endorsement along with the counter affidavit filed by<\/p>\n<p>her on 15.10.2009 wherein there is an endorsement to the effect regarding<\/p>\n<p>the transfer of registration which bears the date 28.5.2003. Learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>would contend that in the light of this endorsement, it can be clearly seen<\/p>\n<p>that Sri.Muraleedharan Pillai continued to be the registered owner of the<\/p>\n<p>vehicle on the date of applying for the renewal of the policy on 17.4.2003<\/p>\n<p>and when the vehicle is transferred subsequently by virtue of the fiction<\/p>\n<p>under <a href=\"\/doc\/195668778\/\" id=\"a_1\">Section 157(1)<\/a>and (2) of the <a href=\"\/doc\/785258\/\" id=\"a_2\">Motor Vehicles Act<\/a>           the policy is<\/p>\n<p>changed to the name of the Mini Prabha automatically and therefore there<\/p>\n<p>was a valid policy coverage and therefore the insurance company cannot get<\/p>\n<p>exonerated from the liability. Now unfortunately this Mini Prabha did not<\/p>\n<p>enter appearance and contested the case before the Tribunal. The crucial<\/p>\n<p>question regarding who was the registered owner on the date of submission<\/p>\n<p>for the proposal form has to be considered on the back drop of the materials<\/p>\n<p>available and evidence to be adduced in the matter. If a person continues to<\/p>\n<p>be a registered owner, ordinarily it is the registered owner&#8217;s name that finds<\/p>\n<p>a place in the policy issued by the company. I am conscious of the fact that<\/p>\n<p>for sale of movable property under the provisions of the <a href=\"\/doc\/651105\/\" id=\"a_3\">Sales of Goods<\/p>\n<p>Act<\/a> handing over of possession coupled with the payment of consideration<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">MACA 2625\/08 &amp; con.cases             -:4:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>will amount to divestiture of title and the sale is complete on the same. But<\/p>\n<p>the procedural formalities in order to make the records in tact are<\/p>\n<p>contemplated under the provisions of        the <a href=\"\/doc\/785258\/\" id=\"a_4\">Motor Vehicles Act<\/a>, under<\/p>\n<p>Section 50 of the New Act and under Section 31 of the Old Act of 1939. It<\/p>\n<p>has been held in very many cases that transfer of registration is subsequent<\/p>\n<p>to the sale and the delay or something on that will not militate against the<\/p>\n<p>same if it is done. Under the provisions of the old <a href=\"\/doc\/785258\/\" id=\"a_5\">Motor Vehicles Act<\/a>,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/doc\/785258\/\" id=\"a_6\">section 103A<\/a> decisions are to the effect that when a policy is taken, there is<\/p>\n<p>privity of contract between the insurer and the insured and when a transfer<\/p>\n<p>is effected unless the insurance company agrees for the change the policy<\/p>\n<p>will not have validity in the case of a transferee and therefore third parties<\/p>\n<p>were affected under such circumstances. In order to over-come the said<\/p>\n<p>situation, the Legislature in its wisdom brought <a href=\"\/doc\/161412796\/\" id=\"a_7\">Section 157<\/a> of the Motor<\/p>\n<p>Vehicles Act wherein there is a deemed transfer the moment the sale is<\/p>\n<p>effected.   A situation may arise where one has to decide whether there was<\/p>\n<p>a policy for the vehicle on the date of accident or not. Learned counsel for<\/p>\n<p>the insurance company views the matter in another angle and submits that if<\/p>\n<p>really the transfer is complete and the person has no right over the property<\/p>\n<p>at all, can a policy taken in his name suppressing the factum of a sale will<\/p>\n<p>cover the filed. The matter requires consideration in these cases for the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_3\">MACA 2625\/08 &amp; con.cases               -:5:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>reason that the crucial date is regarding the transfer of registration for the<\/p>\n<p>reason that a registered owner by various provisions of the Act is always<\/p>\n<p>saddled with the liability so far as the vehicle stands in his name. I am also<\/p>\n<p>sorry to state in these type of cases that when a policy is renewed or a policy<\/p>\n<p>is issued, the persons issuing policy are also expected to look into at least<\/p>\n<p>the registration certificate so as to convince their conscience regarding the<\/p>\n<p>correctness of the policy which they are issuing. But, in very many cases<\/p>\n<p>we find it absent and I leave it there. Therefore the whole matter requires<\/p>\n<p>reconsideration on the following points.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">      Therefore the awards under challenge are set aside and the matters are<\/p>\n<p>remitted back to the Tribunal for the following points to be considered:(1)<\/p>\n<p>Smt.Mini Prabha may be permitted to file a written statement and produce<\/p>\n<p>documents in support of her contentions.(2) The Tribunal is directed to<\/p>\n<p>arrive at a finding regarding the date of sale, date of change of registration,<\/p>\n<p>date of change of permit, etc. and then consider the question in the legal<\/p>\n<p>back drop of <a href=\"\/doc\/161412796\/\" id=\"a_8\">Section 157<\/a> of the Motor Vehicles Act regarding entitlement<\/p>\n<p>of the owner to get indemnified as well as the liability of the insurance<\/p>\n<p>company in such cases. Parties are directed to appear before the Tribunal on<\/p>\n<p>21.12.2009. In all these cases the appellant is directed to take out notice to<\/p>\n<p>Sri.Muraleedharan Pillai and if the Tribunal feels that legal representatives<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_4\">MACA 2625\/08 &amp; con.cases            -:6:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of Kannan has to be impleaded, direction may be given to the claimants to<\/p>\n<p>implead them. Since the rights of the claimants are also jeopardized the<\/p>\n<p>Tribunal shall endeavour its level best to dispose of the matter within 4<\/p>\n<p>months from the date of first appearance of the parties.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">     MACAs and the writ petition are disposed of accordingly.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">                                                M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>Cdp\/-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court United India Insurance Company &#8230; vs Mini Jose on 25 November, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM MACA.No. 2625 of 2008() 1.
