A Division Bench of this Hon'ble has already directed that FAO No.3128 of 2003 shall be taken up along with FAO No.785 of 2003. They are taken up together and disposed of. 2. The connected matters in C.R. No.1982 of 2001 and 5638 of 2001 have already been disposed of. I have directed the Tribunal FAO No.785 of 2003 -2- to frame an issue as to whether the driver of the vehicle had an effective driving licence as required under the Motor Vehicles Act. This shall have a bearing only as a contest between the insurer and the insured and will not come in the way of the award already secured by the claimants. The award so far as it deals with reference to the inter se liability between the insurer and the insured alone shall stand modified and remitted to the Tribunal for fresh consideration after framing an issue whether the driver had an effective driving licence as required under the Motor Vehicles Act. 3. The parties viz. the insurer and the insured shall appear before the Tribunal on 31.08.2010. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE August 10, 2010 Pankaj*
