HIGH COURT OF UTTARANCHAL AT NAINITAL A.O. No. 685 of 2001 Old No. 639 of 1987 Manmaya Gurung …….. Petitioner Versus Union of India & others ………… Respondents Dated: 20.8.2004 Hon’ble Rajesh Tandon, J. File has been transferred from the Allahabad High Court. None appears for the appellants. I have heard the standing counsel for the respondents and have gone through the record of the case. Present appeal has been filed against the judgment and award dated 24.3.1987 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Dehradun. A claim petition has been filed by respondents for grant of compensation on account of death of Sri Anita Singh in a motor vehicle accident on 5/8/1983 at 4.00 PM at Dehradun involving Truck No. CHW 4122. The petitioners have alleged that the accident had taken place due to rash and negligent driving by the truck driver. The opposite parties appellants have contested the petition. The Claims Tribunal has held that the accident had not taken place due to rash and negligent driving by the truck driver. The Claims Tribunal has dismissed the petition under section 110 of M.V.Act, however a compensation of Rs.15,000/- has been awarded under Section 92A of M.V. Act under no fault scheme. I find no illegality or infirmity in the findings arrived at by the Claims Tribunal. The appeal is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed. No order as to costs. (Rajesh Tandon, J.) 20.8.2004 *Dhyani
