The only point urged in appeal is that the restriction of liability to an insurer for damage to third party for goods was Rs.6,000/- as statutorily provided and under the terms of the policy. The claim arose out of incident of death of a bullock and for personal injuries. The Tribunal awarded Rs.25,000/- as damages for death of bullock and provided for Rs.3,000/- for personal injuries. The liability cast on the insurer to an amount in excess of what is covered under the policy was clearly untenable. 2. The award is, therefore, modified restricting the liability of the insurer to Rs.6,000/- with interest and the amount in excess FAO No.1847 of 2006 (O&M) -2- of the same shall be recovered from the insured/owner. 3.
