HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR C.R.P. Nos.4387 of 2006 & 4409 of 2006 COMMON ORDER: These two C.R.Ps. arise out of a common order of Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-cum-II Additional District Judge, Mahabubnagar in O.P.No.54 of 2001 and batch dated 18-1-2006. C.R.P.No.4409 of 2006 is directed against the judgment in O.P.No.54 of 2001. C.R.P.No.4387 of 2006 is directed against the judgment in O.P.No.57 of 2001. The question that falls for consideration is whether the vehicle in question insured by the petitioner-Insurance Company and used for carriage of passengers, still attracts the liability of the petitioner- Insurance Company on account of injuries caused to the claimants traveling on the paddy bags loaded in the said vehicle. The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal had held that the petitioner- Insurance Company is liable to pay compensation to the claimants. Questioning the liability imposed on the petitioner-Insurance Company, this revision petitions are filed. None appeared for the respondents in both the revision petitions. Learned counsel for the petitioner-Insurance Company has brought to the notice of this Court that identical revision and appeals arising out of other O.P.s were heard and disposed of by this Court vide common judgment dated 27-8-2010 in C.R.P.No.4410 of 2006 and batch. Since the issue involved in the present two C.R.Ps. are squarely covered by the aforesaid Judgment for the reasons stated therein, these two revision petitions are disposed of by following the judgment which is similar to the aforesaid batch of cases. Following the same, the present two C.R.Ps. are partly allowed to the extent of setting aside of direction to the petitioner-appellant to pay the compensation in the first instance and to recover from the owner. It is also made clear that the respondents-claimants are entitled to recover the amounts, which have been awarded by the Court below from the owner of the vehicle. Further, it is also made clear that the petitioner-appellant is entitled to recover any amounts paid by it during the pendency of these proceedings in terms of the interim orders from the owner of the vehicle. No costs. _____________________________________ JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR Dated 17-9-2010. Dvs HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR C.R.P. Nos.4387 of 2006 & 4409 of 2006 Dated 17-9-2010
