Smt. Rekha Sharma S/O Late Shri Tejprakash Sharma v. Khalil Ahmed S/O Shri Rashid Khan

Rajasthan HC9 Oct 2024CMA/5361/2018

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

The High Court set aside a trial court rejection of an insurance claim in a fatal road accident. The Court held that the Motor Tribunal failed to analyze the evidence prudently in 2015 when the driver was merely placed in police custody but not convicted. The admission made by the insured driver was deemed insufficient to reject the claim unconditionally.

What did the court decide?

S.B. Civil Misc. Appeal No. 5361/2018 dismissed; S.B. Civil Misc. Appeal No. 5181/2018 allowed; Respondents to compensate within 3 months.

the vehicle as the response made to the notice indication that 'he himself has committed the accident' implication himself is wholly unnatural and further fortifies the allegation about collusion of the owner and driver of the insured vehicle for the purpose of recovering amount of compensation from the Insurance Company as the accident occurred from some unknown vehicle, which could not be traced by the police.

Merely because the owner of the offending vehicle made an admission that his vehicle had met with an accident, it would not prevent the learned Tribunal from dismissing the claim petition. After all, the learned Tribunal is expected to analyse the entire evidence and to adjudicate upon the issues framed by it. Instances are not lacking when a claim petition has been filed with collusion between the claimant and the owner of the offending vehicle. Thus, the Tribunal is duty bound to critically analyse the evidence produced before it. Hence the first contention raised by the learned counsel for the appellant is unacceptable.
