appended with First Information Report in respect of accident, medical certificates of injuries or post mortem report or death certificate and a certificate regarding ownership and insurance particulars of vehicles involved in accident from the Regional Transport Officer or the Police Station, concerned. From perusal of the record, it appears that the claimants have only filed the insurance particulars, first information report, post mortem report, etc. along with the claim petition. They have not filed any certificate regarding ownership, though the name of the owner is reflected in the policy paper filed by the claimants issued by the appellant itself. Certificate regarding ownership is required to be furnished by the claimants along with the claim petition to enable the Insurance Company to make investigation regarding the authenticity of the ownership of the offending vehicle as claimed by the claimants. As the name of the owner of the offending vehicle is well within the knowledge of the Insurance Company as vindicated by the aforesaid policy paper issued by it, hence non-compliance of the aforesaid formality by the claimants, in my considered opinion, does not appear to be fatal and is not going to affect the merit of the case.
