The said vessel ( hereinafter referred to<br \/>\nas &#8220;the vessel&#8221;) was insured with appellant for the<br \/>\nperiod from 8.1.1992 to 7.2.1992 and the premium thereon was paid.<br \/>\nThe appellant was also insurer so far as the personal accident of<br \/>\ncrews on the ship were concerned. The said vessel, unfortunately,<br \/>\nsunk in the high sea after 16.1.1992. As there was no other<br \/>\npossibility and nothing was heard of the vessel nor did the crew or<br \/>\nthe captain deported to any Port, the plaintiff reported the incident<br \/>\nof loss of the vessel to the concerned under the provisions of the<br \/>\nMerchant Shipping Act,1958 but the report was of no avail as the<br \/>\nmachinery provided under the Act did not take any further actions.<br \/>\nThe crews and dependants raised claim, which came to be allowed.<br \/>\nBeing aggrieved therefrom the Insurance Company preferred First<br \/>\nAppeal being 2845 of 2000 before this Court (Coram: K.M. Mehta, J.,<br \/>\nas he then was), which came to be disposed of vide order dated<br \/>\n11.7.2007. The Court, while disposing of the said appeal, negatived<br \/>\nthe contentions of the Insurance Company with regard to the so-called<br \/>\nbogus claim of the vessel owner and the challenge to the authority of<br \/>\nship being lost on account of it being sunk at the high sea. This<br \/>\njudgment has attained finality as the Insurance Company did not<br \/>\nassail the same in any other forum. The Insurance Company repudiated<br \/>\nthe claim of the owner of the ship. Therefore, it was constrained to<br \/>\nfile Special Civil Suit No.39 of 1994, wherein also the decision of<br \/>\nthis Court rendered in First Appeal No.2845 of 2000 decided on<br \/>\n11.7.2007 was pressed into service at Exh.211. The Court, after,<br \/>\nelaborate discussion, the material on record, the evidence and the<br \/>\ncontention of the parties, passed the suit in favour of the plaintiff<br \/>\nas recorded hereinabove vide judgment and order dated 30.4.2010 which<br \/>\nis assailed in the present First Appeal filed under Section 96 of the<br \/>\nCivil Procedure Code, 1908.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tLearned<br \/>\nadvocate for the appellant could not dispute that this Court did<br \/>\ndecide the First Appeal No.2845 of 2000 on 11.7.2007 against the<br \/>\nInsurance Company. However, he submitted that the witness, who has<br \/>\nbeen referred to in the earlier proceedings, namely, proceedings<br \/>\narising out of the crew&#8217;s claim for compensation did not repeat the<br \/>\nversion before the Court.  Apart therefrom, he submitted that the<br \/>\nprovisions of Merchant Shipping Act,1958, makes it clear that the<br \/>\nloss of vessel or causality of this nature is required to be reported<br \/>\nto the concerned authority. Learned advocate drew the attention of<br \/>\nthis Court to Sections 358 and 359 of the Act in support of his<br \/>\nsubmissions and submitted that the lack of evidence in this behalf<br \/>\nwould go to support the contention of the Insurance Company with<br \/>\nregard to the veracity of the claim of owner of the ship having been<br \/>\nsunk or lost at high sea. Learned advocate for the original-plaintiff<br \/>\nand respondent hereinabove appearing on caveat places heavy reliance<br \/>\nupon the decision of this Court in First Appeal No.2845 of 2000 and<br \/>\nsubmitted that in view of the principles of res judicata when the<br \/>\nvery Insurance Company in respect of the very same accident has been<br \/>\nheld liable to pay the compensation and indemnify the heirs of the<br \/>\ncrew, then it can now not be permitted to re-agitate the issue in<br \/>\nthis First Appeal as so far the contention with regard to bogus claim<br \/>\nhas been, in terms, negatived by the competent Court at the relevant<br \/>\ntime and which has been upheld in terms by this Court in the said<br \/>\nFirst Appeal No.2845 of 2000.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tThis<br \/>\nCourt is unable to accept the submission of learned advocate for the<br \/>\nappellant. Learned advocate for the appellant could not controvert<br \/>\nthe contentions raised by the respondent&#8217;s counsel with regard to the<br \/>\nissue of veracity of the claim being settled between the parties. The<br \/>\nCourt need not elaborate upon the other aspect, suffice it to say<br \/>\nthat the contentions with regard to no evidence coming forward in the<br \/>\nform of inquiry by the competent Court into the incident of accident<br \/>\nto the vessel as per the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act, is<br \/>\nalso though prima facie, appeared attractive but was of no avail in<br \/>\nview of the fact that the Court has elaborately considered that the<br \/>\nowner did sent intimation\/information to all the concerned and those<br \/>\ncommunications have been forming part of the record as submitted by<br \/>\nlearned advocate for the respondent. The admission of the Appeal,<br \/>\nwould, therefore, not serve the interest of justice.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tIn<br \/>\nview of this, I am of the view that without further elaboration in<br \/>\nthe matter, the appeal deserves to be dismissed only on the ground<br \/>\nthat the final verdict given by this Court with regard to the<br \/>\nveracity of the claim has attained finality. Therefore, at this<br \/>\nstage, it would not be permissible to the Insurance Company to argue<br \/>\nfor interference as the Insurance Company has not challenged the<br \/>\nverdict and not complied with the order of the competent Court.<br \/>\nAccordingly, the appeal is disposed of. No order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>(S.R.Brahmbhatt,<br \/>\nJ.)<\/p>\n<p>sudhir<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court United vs Abdul on 14 October, 2010 Author: S.R.Brahmbhatt,&amp;Nbsp;
