The petitioner has alleged that the accident was occurred due to rash and negligent driving by the bus driver. The Tribunal has held that the accident has not taken place due to rash and negligent driving by the bus driver. However, the Claims Tribunal has awarded a sum of Rs.50,000/- to the claimant under section 140 of the M.V. Act under no fault scheme along with Rs.2,000/- as funeral expenses. The accident and involvement of the bus owned by the appellant in the accident has been admitted by the appellant opposite party and as such the owner of the bus is liable to pay statutory compensation of Rs.50,000/- to the claimant under no fault scheme of section 140 M.A.Act. The Claims Tribunal has awarded compensation under no fault scheme and as such the appeal is not maintainable. I find no infirmity in the award passed by the Claims Tribunal and the appeal is dismissed with costs. (Rajesh Tandon J.) 20.6.2004 *Dhyani
