QRALORDER (Passed on 17" January 2006) The following oral order of the Court was passed by S.R, Nayak, CJ.: This is owner's appeal. The only contention urged before the MACT as well as before this Court to deny the liability to pay l:'SI'.JiS8!KNi 2,- /- ^^. compensation is that the appellant was not the owner of the motor vehicle involved in the accident as on the date of accident i.e. 29-05- 2002. Learned counsel contended that well before the date of accident, the appellant sold away the motor vehicle involved in the accident on 25-01-2000. The learned MACT having considered the evidence on record came to the conclusion that even on the date of accident, the appellant was the registered owner of the motor vehicle involved in the accident. In that view of the matter, according to us, the learned MACT has quite rightly fastened the liability to pay compensation on the appellant - owner because we are told that the motor vehicle involved in the accident was not insured on the date of accident. The appeal is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. Sd/- Chlef Justice Sd/- Dilip Raosaheb Deshmukh Judge y^~
