J U D G M E N T This appeal is preferred against the award of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Alappuzha in O.P.(MV) 880/02. The case relates to a passenger in a private vehicle covered by a package policy. In the light of the clarificatory circular dated 16.11.2009 issued by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority, it is made clear that the persons carried in a private vehicle and persons carried in a two wheeler are covered under the terms and conditions of Standard Motor Package Policy. In the light of this, the liability of the insurance company has to be found against it and therefore the appeal is dismissed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
