THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.1459 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner-National Insurance Company Limited filed this revision under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, inter alia, assailing the order dated 11.10.2006 passed by III Additional District Judge (Fast Track Court), Kadapa (MACT) in partly allowing MVOP No.612 of 2004 filed under Section 166 of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The brief facts, which are necessary for disposal of the revision, are that on 02.09.2003, the first respondent herein/claimant and her relatives were taking the brother of the claimant, who was a paralysis patient and was suffering with high fever, to G.G.H, Kadapa for treatment, in the jeep of the second respondent herein, which was insured with the petitioner herein, and when the said jeep reached Nekanapuram cross roads at 10.30 pm, the driver of the jeep drove the same in a rash and negligent manner, lost control over the jeep and hit a neem tree on the road side, as a result of which, the jeep turned turtle and all the inmates of the jeep including the claimant received injuries. Hence, the claimant filed the above M.V.O.P claiming compensation of Rs.70,000/- with costs and subsequent interest. The petitioner herein contested said claim inter alia stating that the driver of the jeep was not holding valid licence, and therefore, no liability can be fastened on it. Having heard the learned counsel on both sides and having considered the evidence available on record, the Court below held that the accident occurred due to rash and negligent driving of the driver of the jeep, and accordingly, awarded Rs.3,500/- towards compensation with proportionate interest and costs. Hence, this revision. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner-Insurance Company contended that the driver of the jeep was not holding valid licence, and therefore, the petitioner is not liable to pay any compensation to the claimant, and that the claimant is entitled to recover the awarded compensation amount from the owner of the jeep. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, and especially the amount awarded by the Court below is very meagre, I do not find any justification to interfere with the impugned order. The Civil Revision Petitions are accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. B.PRAKASH RAO, J Date: 24.06.2010 va
