Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The insurance company is on appeal challenging the liability on the ground that the deceased was a passenger-cum- owner in his vehicle and the accident arose by the negligent act of his own driver swerving the vehicle rashly that made the vehicle turn turtle. I have examined the terms of the policy and I find that there is a personal accident cover and the liability of the insurance company could have been only for personal accident limit of Rs.2 lacs. The Tribunal has awarded Rs.2,98,000/- with 9% interest. The amount shall stand reduced to Rs.2 lacs with interest stipulated already. 2. The award is modified and the appeal is allowed to the above extent. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE September 30, 2010 Pankaj*
