FAO No. 1061 of 1992 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No. 1061 of 1992 Date of decision : February 4, 2011 Gobind Kaur ...Appellant Sheelo Devi and others ...Respondents Present: None for the appellant. Mr. Neearj Khanna , Advocate for for Mr. Ravinder Arora, Advocate for the Insurance Company-respondent No.8. **** K. Kannan, J (Oral) 1. The appeal is at the instance of the owner of the tractor who was involved in the accident. The Tribunal found the driver of the tractor to be responsible for the accident and awarded a compensation of `4,80,000/- payable to the claimants and made respondent Nos. 1,3 and 4 liable. The second respondent Harbans Singh was exonerated on the finding that the vehicle had been transferred by him, The fourth respondent is Insurance Company, I find from the grounds of appeal that the claimant was aggrieved by the fact that the owner had been made liable. The liability is joint and several and in the manner of recoveries by virtue of contract of insurance the Insurance Company will also be liable to indemnify the owner when the Tribunal has passed an award making the insurer jointly responsible for the claim. That ought to be taken as sufficient to indemnify the owner and its transferree. I am not prepared to examine the issue of negligence as there is a valid insurance cover and the Insurance FAO No. 1061 of 1992 2 Company itself does not seem to be aggrieved by the award. There is no representation on behalf of the appellant. I have examined the case with the assistance of the counsel for the Insurance company. The appeal is dismissed. (K.
