J U D G M E N T Basheer, J: When this appeal is taken up for consideration, it is fairly conceded by both sides that the issue involved in this case is squarely covered by a decision rendered by us in United India Insurance Co.Ltd. v. Manoj (2011(1) KLT 502). 2. Applying the principle laid down in the above decision, it is hold that respondent No.3 - Insurance Company, shall be liable to pay the compensation to the appellant with liberty to recover the same from respondents 1 and 2. 3. As regards the claim for enhancement of compensation, we are not at all satisfied that any interference is warranted with the quantum fixed by the Tribunal. Therefore, the prayer for enhancement is rejected. The appeal is disposed of in the above terms. A.K. BASHEER, JUDGE. P.Q. BARKATH ALI,JUDGE. cl : 2 : : 3 :
