In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh FAO No. 3203 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: November 05, 2009 Mohinder Singh and another .. Appellants Vs. United India Insurance Company Limited and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Amit Mehta, Advocate for the appellants. A.N. Jindal, J The appellants-respondents No. 2 & 3 (driver and owner) have preferred this appeal against the award dated 2.3.2009 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Ambala, whereby the insurance company has been exonerated and the respondents No.1 to 3 were held liable to pay compensation to the tune of Rs.2,00,000/- along with interest @ 7.5% per annum. The driving licence (Ex.RB) produced by the driver (now appellant) reveals his date of birth as 18.3.1988. However, the licence was issued on 18.9.2004, therefore, certainly, he was only 16 years old at the time of accident and he being minor could not be issued the driving licence for the truck on the date of accident. As such, the appellant was not competent to drive the truck. No grounds to interfere. Dismissed. November 05, 2009 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
