Ramesh Thapa …..Respondents Dated: 24.9.2004 Hon’ble Rajesh Tandon J. Heard Sh. Deepak Rawat learned counsel for the applicant. By the present appeal the applicant has challenged the award passed in proceeding under Section 92-A of the Motor Vehicles Act, awarded a sum of Rs. 15,000. Brief facts giving rise to the present writ petition are that the petitioner’s late son Sh. Subhash Bakshi met with an accident on 14-12-1983 with Truck No. URM 8286 owned by O.P. No.1 Sh Lalit Kumar Gupta and insured with O.P. No. 2, The oriental fire and General Insurance Company. The petitioner’s contention is that his late son Sh. Subhas was walking on the road on his left side and was not at fault in any way while going on the road. It h been alleged further that the accident had taken place due to rash and negligent driving of the driver at the aforesaid Truck. A perusal of the record shows that the accident has not been denied by the opposite parties. Apparently, the petitioner is entitled to claim compensation of Rs. 15,000/- on the basis of principle of the fault as envisaged under the aforesaid section. In view of the aforesaid proposition as contained under Section 92-A of the Motor Vehicles Act, the appeal lacks merits. Consequently, the appeal is dismissed. No order as to costs.
