Claim Case no.17 of 2001.<\/p>\n<p>                                2. In this case despite valid service of notice, the Respondent<\/p>\n<p>                    no.1\/ Claimant had not appeared and thereafter by order dated<br \/>\n Patna High Court MA No.103 of 2010 dt.15-10-2011                                           2<\/p>\n<p>                13.05.2011, Sri Shambhu Sharan Singh, learned counsel was appointed<\/p>\n<p>                as amicus curiae to assist the Court on behalf of Respondent no.1\/<\/p>\n<p>                Claimant. Sri Sanjay Kumar Pandey, learned counsel has appeared on<\/p>\n<p>                behalf of Respondent no.1 i.e. owner of the offending vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>                            3. Short fact of the case is that on 30.10.1998, while the<\/p>\n<p>                husband of Respondent no.1\/ Claimant was moving for purchasing<\/p>\n<p>                certain goods from grocery shop and on way he was dashed by a mini<\/p>\n<p>                bus, bearing Registration No.BR-1P-6053. The said mini bus was being<\/p>\n<p>                run as &#8220;Jai Chandi Travels&#8221;. The accident had taken placed due to rash<\/p>\n<p>                and negligent driving of the vehicle and, as such, an F.I.R. vide<\/p>\n<p>                Madhepura P.S. Case No.277 of 1998 was registered against the driver<\/p>\n<p>                of the offending vehicle. After investigation, chargesheet was submitted<\/p>\n<p>                However , due to death of the driver by order dated 04.09.2000 the case<\/p>\n<p>                against the driver was closed. After the accident, the Respondent<\/p>\n<p>                no.1(widow of the deceased ) filed a case for compensation under the<\/p>\n<p>                M.V.Act before the court of learned District Judge-cum- Motor Vehicle<\/p>\n<p>                Accident Claim Tribunal, Madhepura vide M.V. Claim Case no.17 of<\/p>\n<p>                2001 arraying the owner of the vehicle       as well as the Insurance<\/p>\n<p>                Company i.e. the appellant as Opp.Parties. Before the Claim Tribunal,<\/p>\n<p>                despite service of notice, the owner of the offending vehicle did not<\/p>\n<p>                appear and, as such, the case proceeded against him ex parte. It was not<\/p>\n<p>                disputed by the parties that the offending vehicle was insured by the<\/p>\n<p>                appellant and the vehicle was under insurance cover at the time of<\/p>\n<p>                accident. Before the Claim Tribunal, the claimant examined altogether<\/p>\n<p>                five witnesses to prove its case. It further appears that none of the<\/p>\n<p>                witnesses, who were examined in support of the claim case, were cross-<br \/>\n Patna High Court MA No.103 of 2010 dt.15-10-2011                                              3<\/p>\n<p>                examined on behalf of the insurer. The Insurance Company had only<\/p>\n<p>                filed a written statement before the court below raising some ornamental<\/p>\n<p>                objections.\n<\/p>\n<p>                              4. After hearing the parties and perusing the evidences<\/p>\n<p>                brought on record, the learned claim tribunal by the impugned Judgment<\/p>\n<p>                and Award has directed the insurer\/appellant to pay total compensation<\/p>\n<p>                amount of Rs.3, 70,000\/- which includes loss of consortium and funeral<\/p>\n<p>                expenses. Since Rs.50,000\/- was already paid to the claimant as interim<\/p>\n<p>                compensation,      the   total     remaining   compensation   amount   i.e.<\/p>\n<p>                Rs.3,20,000\/- was directed to be paid to the claimant along with interest<\/p>\n<p>                @ 9%      per annum , which was to be calculated from the date of<\/p>\n<p>                admission of the claim petition i.e. 18.02.2002. From the impugned<\/p>\n<p>                Judgment, it is further evident that the insurer had not brought on record<\/p>\n<p>                any material to prove any breach of terms and conditions of the<\/p>\n<p>                insurance policy. Since the owner of the vehicle had not appeared<\/p>\n<p>                before the court below nor any evidence was brought on record<\/p>\n<p>                regarding the driving licence of the driver of the offending vehicle , the<\/p>\n<p>                claim tribunal granted opportunity to the insurer\/appellant to recover<\/p>\n<p>                the paid amount from the insured i.e. owner of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>                              5. Sri Shailendra Kumar, learned counsel for the appellant<\/p>\n<p>                has tried to establish that the learned claim tribunal even in absence of<\/p>\n<p>                evidence regarding driving licence has illegally and incorrectly directed<\/p>\n<p>                the appellant to make payment of the compensation amount.<\/p>\n<p>                              6. Sri Shambhu Sharan Singh, learned counsel ( amicus<\/p>\n<p>                curiae) appearing on behalf of the Respondent no.1 on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>                averment made in the written statement, which was filed by the<br \/>\n Patna High Court MA No.103 of 2010 dt.15-10-2011                                               4<\/p>\n<p>                Insurance Company before the court below submits that there is no<\/p>\n<p>                averment in the written statement regarding non-availability of the valid<\/p>\n<p>                driving licence of the vehicle in question. He has further argued that<\/p>\n<p>                since the Insurance Company had even failed to cross-examine any of<\/p>\n<p>                the witnesses , it would be difficult for the appellant to question the<\/p>\n<p>                impugned Judgment and award. From the record, it appears that nothing<\/p>\n<p>                was pleaded by the Insurance Company claiming that the offending<\/p>\n<p>                vehicle at the time of accident was being driven by a person, who was<\/p>\n<p>                not having any valid driving licence. It is further evident that none of<\/p>\n<p>                the witnesses examined on behalf of the claimant was cross examined.<\/p>\n<p>                In such a situation, it was very difficult for the learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>                appearing on behalf of the appellant to question the legality of the<\/p>\n<p>                impugned Judgment and award.\n<\/p>\n<p>                            7. After going through the materials available on record, I<\/p>\n<p>                find that the learned claim tribunal has committed no error and, as such,<\/p>\n<p>                there is no requirement to interfere with the impugned judgment and<\/p>\n<p>                award. Accordingly, appeal stands dismissed with direction to the<\/p>\n<p>                appellant to pay the compensation amount along with interest, as<\/p>\n<p>                directed by the claim tribunal i.e. @ 9% per annum from 18.2.2002 till<\/p>\n<p>                the date of payment within a period of two months from the date of<\/p>\n<p>                receipt\/production of a copy of this order.\n<\/p>\n<p>                            8. It goes without saying that that if so advised, the appellant<\/p>\n<p>                can avail remedy in view of liberty granted by the claim tribunal.<\/p>\n<p>                            9. In view of rejection of the appeal, the statutory amount<\/p>\n<p>                deposited at the time of filing of this appeal may be remitted back to the<\/p>\n<p>                court below for its payment to the claimant.\n<\/p>\n<p>         Patna High Court MA No.103 of 2010 dt.15-10-2011                                            5<\/p>\n<p>                                    10. Before parting with the Judgment, I must appreciate the<\/p>\n<p>                        assistance rendered by Sri Shambhu Sharan Singh, learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>                        (amicus curiae), who after examining the entire record of the case has<\/p>\n<p>                        rendered assistance to the court.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                    11.
