Date: 30th June 2009. 01- The Award of compensation of under Sec.166 Motor Vehicle Act is subject of challenge at the instance of Government. 02- The learned judge on assessment of the evidence recorded that it was the fault of police van, which by-passed a bullock-cart and then dashed motor cycle causing loss of life of the deceased. The police, apparently manipulated the record to throw responsibility of accident upon the motor cyclist. However the learned judge on assessing the evidence of eye witness reached to the conclusion that it was the total fault and negligence on the part of driver of police van which {2} has caused the accident, took toll of precious life of deceased. The details of income of the deceased coupled with the age and multiplier, cannot be disputed. I do not see any merit in the appeal. It is dismissed. No costs. Civil Application disposed of.
