8.Aggrieved by the dismissal order passed by the Tribunal, the claimants had filed the above appeal. The highly competent counsel vehemently argued that the 1st claimant's father Marimuthu had sustained head injuries in the accident and sustained injuries all over his body on 19.12.2002. Immediately, he was admitted at Government Medical College Hospital, Coimbatore, wherein he underwent treatment upto 25.12.2002, as an inpatient. Thereafter, he underwent treatment as an outpatient. In spite of medical treatment, the injured expired on 04.06.2003. The very competent counsel pointed out that the F.I.R. had been registered against the rider of the motorcycle and subsequently the rider had pleaded guilty and paid penalty before the Criminal Court. In order to prove the same, F.I.R., Charge sheet and Copy of judgment were filed before the trial Court. The claim petition had been well established against the respondents. At the time of accident, the Insurance policy was in force. Therefore, the Insurance Company is liable to pay compensation. The highly competent counsel further argued that the alienation of the offending vehicle is immaterial, but the vehicle has been insured with the 3rd respondent, namely, New India Assurance Company. Therefore, there is a prima facie case on the side of the claimants, who are aggrieved persons seeking compensation that too also for a sum of only Rs.1,00,000/- which is a meagre compensation.
