Learned counsel for the Insurance Company states that there had been an application for impleading the driver and owner as a co-appellant along with the insurer. In my view it can not make a difference if the owner joins in appeal along with the insurer or that would still carry interdict of maintainability of appeal in view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Chinnama George and others Vs. N.K.Raju and another 2000 (4) SCC 130. If the appellant insurer is aggrieved in any way by the order passed on 20.08.2010, the insurer shall be at liberty to assail the same in accordance with law. 2. Learned counsel for the cross objectors states that he does not want to press this petition at this stage. 3. Dismissed as not pressed. [K.KANNAN] JUDGE 6th September, 2010 Shivani Kaushik
