Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No. 2. To be referred to the reporters or not ?No. 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest ? No. ---- K.Kannan, J. (Oral) 1. The appeal is by the Insurance Company challenging the issue of liability and quantum for injuries suffered in a motor accident. On the issue of liability, the contention was that the driver was not duly licensed. The Insurance Company, however, did not summon the original register or secure the presence of any person from the transport authority to testify about the correct details of the records and test the genuineness of the licence in the light of such records. I cannot find any error in approach of the Tribunal to subject the award for a different FAO No.253 of 1998 (O&M) - 2 - appraisal. As regards the quantum, the Insurance Company cannot have any grievance. 2. The award is confirmed and the appeal is dismissed. (K.KANNAN) JUDGE 01.03.2011 sanjeev
