Holding that the deceased rode the motorcycle with the owner's consent and thus fell within the definition of 'owner', not a third party, the High Court held the insurer not liable, allowed the appeal and set aside the award.
What did the court decide?
Appeal allowed; tribunal award dated 19-04-2018 set aside; deposited amount refundable; amounts paid recoverable from respondents with 7% interest from date of payment till realisation.
