Garg, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Ravinder Arora, Advocate for the insurance company. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 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 appeal is at the instance of the appellant against whom a right of recovery has been granted. The ground was that the owner had not shown that there was a valid route permit at the time of the accident. The argument of the learned counsel appearing for the appellant was that even at the time of trial, it was shown to the insurance company but the Court found that the document had not been filed. 2. The application has been filed before this Court in C.M. No.15707-CII of 2009 filing the copy of the permit. The copy of the application had been directed to be served on the respondent on 14.07.2009 and till date no objection has been filed by the insurance FAO No.717 of 2008 (O&M) -2- company nor they have stated that the copy of the route permit produced is not correct. The copy shows that the owner had a valid permit for the vehicle at the relevant time of the accident. The liability of the insurance company shall, therefore, be not merely to satisfy the award but also to give full indemnity to the insured. 3. The right of recovery granted by the Tribunal is, therefore, set aside and it shall be the duty of the insurer to satisfy the award. 4. The appeal is allowed to the above extent. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE January 27, 2011 Pankaj*
