Ramswaroop, Advocate for the appellant. Rakesh Kumar Garg, J.(Oral) The only point raised by the learned counsel for the appellant- Insurance Company for challenging the award of the Tribunal is that the driver of the offending vehicle was not holding a valid and effective driving license at the time of accident. I have perused the impugned award passed by the Tribunal. On appreciation of evidence, the Tribunal has given a finding that the appellant has failed to prove the aforesaid fact. The reliance of learned counsel for the appellant on verification report Ex.R5, was not accepted for the reason that no witness was summoned by the appellant from the office of Licensing Authority to prove the aforesaid verification or to prove the fact that the licence was fake. Learned counsel for the appellant was unable to point out any other material on record in support of his case. In view of the aforesaid finding of fact, I find no merit in this appeal. Dismissed.
