IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.11247 of 2011 1. Guddu Ram @ Dharmendra Kumar S/O Sudama Ram R/O Vill.- Naraina, P.O.- Chandrakaithi, P.S.- Chenari, Distt.- Rohtas 2. Sudama Ram S/O Bhadae Ram R/O Vill.- Naraina, P.O.- Chandrakaithi, P.S.- Chenari, Distt.- Rohtas … Petitioners Versus 1. Rameshwar Vishwakarma S/O Suresh Vishwakarma R/O Vill.- Naraina, P.O.- Chandrakaithi, P.S.- Chenari, Distt.- Rohtas 2. Jai Prakash Vishwakarma (Minor) Through Their Father And Natural Guardian Rameshwar Vishwakarma R/O Vill.- Naraina, P.O.- Chandrakaithi, P.S.- Chenari, Distt.- Rohtas 3. Jyoti Kumari (Minor) Through Their Father And Natural Guardian Rameshwar Vishwakarma R/O Vill.- Naraina, P.O.- Chandrakaithi, P.S.- Chenari, Distt.- Rohtas … Respondents -------------- For the Petitioners : Mr. Surendra Kumar Mishra, Advocate For the Respondents : None. ------------ 03/ 17.08.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners. No one appears for the respondents. 2. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging order 10.05.2011 passed in M.V. Claim Case No. 163 of 2010, by which 6th Additional Sessions Judge-cum-Motor Vehicle Accident Claim Tribunal, Rohtas at Sasaram allowed the petition of claimant-respondents under section 140 of the Motor Vehicle Act (hereinafter referred to as `the Act’ for the sake of brevity ). 3. From the averments made by learned counsel for the petitioners, it is quite apparent that the Tribunal has considered the matter in detail including the records before it and has found that in the said case charge-sheet against the writ petitioners had already been filed and death certificate along with post mortem report had been filed, which was corroborated by the first information report and the fardbeyan. This, prima-facie, fulfils the requirement of 2 section 140 of the Act. The spouse and minor children of the deceased are the claimants. Hence, objection of the writ petitioners that the succession certificate is required, does not stand to reason. 5. This Court does not find any merit in this writ petition, which is, accordingly, dismissed. MPS/ ( S. N. Hussain, J.)
