FAO No.1304 of 2006 Oriental Insurance Company Limited ....Appellant versus Smt. Amru Rani and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN ---- Present: Mr. Rahul Garg, Advocate, for Mr.Ashwani Talwar, Advocate, for the appellant. None for the respondents. ---- 1. 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 two appeals are both by way of clarification than seeking for substantial reliefs. At the trial involving both the cases, it was proved that the driver did not have a valid driving licence. The Tribunal accepted the same. It had also provided that the liability shall be to satisfy the claims and recover the same. However, in the last FAO No.1303 of 2006 - 2 - paragraph of the judgment, the Tribunal has provided that the liability of the insured and the insurer shall be joint and several. This, according to the insurer, creates a doubt whether a right of recovery is provided for or not. 2. The appeals are disposed of, clarifying what the awards states in paragraph 30 that it will have a right to recover the same from the insured and the relief clause must also be read in the same fashion. 3. The appeals are disposed of on the above terms. (K.KANNAN) JUDGE 31.08.2010 sanjeev
