JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR Present: Mr. Vinod Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner ... ARVIND KUMAR, J: This shall dispose of two revision petitions, namely, C.R. No. 2779 and 2780 of 2011 as they arise out of a similar order passed in two connected cases whereby application filed by the petitioner for impleadment of Reliance General Insurance Company has been dismissed. The present petitioner is insurer of truck/tipper No. PB- 12-J/1310 involved in the accident which took place on 12.5.2007 and as such, respondent No.3 in the claim petition filed by the claimants. The insurance cover was from 23.5.2006 to 22.5.2007 covering the date of accident. The insured/owner of the vehicle got insurance policy from Reliance General Insurance Company for the subsequent year i.e. 2007- 2008 covering the period from 11.5.2007 to 10.5.2008. Initially, Reliance General Insurance Company was made a party and they made an application for deletion of their name on the ground that the vehicle was already insured from the previous year covering the date of accident, with the present petitioner-company and as such, their name stood deleted from the array of parties in the claim petition. The present petitioner then filed an application for impleading again the said Reliance General Insurance Company on the ground that their policy also covers the date of accident. The same has been dismissed vide impugned order dated 17.1.2011. Hence, the present revisions by the New India Assurance Company Limited. Heard. C.R. No. 2779 of 2011 -2- The vehicle in question was got insured with effect from 11.5.2007 from Reliance General Insurance Company which no doubt covers the date of accident but was for the subsequent one year. The insurance policy was taken prior to the expiry of the insurance policy since there was change of insurance company. It cannot be over-looked that the said vehicle already stood insured in the previous year, i.e. from 23.5.2006 to 22.5.2007, covering the date of accident and as such, the principal insurance company is New India Assurance Company, i.e. the present petitioner. The name of Reliance General Insurance Company has rightly been deleted and the application of the present petitioner for impleading the said company dismissed by the Tribunal. No interference is called for. Resultantly, both the revision petitions, namely, CR Nos. 2779 and 2780 of 2011, stand dismissed in limine. April 28, 2011 ( ARVIND KUMAR ) JS JUDGE
