THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.DURGA PRASAD L.P.A.NO.191 OF 2002 JUDGMENT: {Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao} The appellant-Insurance Company filed this appeal under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent aggrieved by the judgment of the learned Single Judge of this Court dated 26.07.1999 in A.A.O.No.1631 of 1991 in dismissing the appeal and confirming the order dated 07.12.1989 passed in O.P.No.536 of 1988 on the file of the Chairman- MACT-cum-III Additional District Judge, Guntur. The appeal before the learned Single Judge of this Court arises against compensation awarded by the Tribunal towards death of the deceased as a result of motor accident that occurred on 28.10.1988. On the date of the accident, at about 11 am, the deceased was going on cycle from Manchala towards Chebrolu and when reached Peda Vanthena, one Ambassador Car bearing No.MYY 90 came from Guntur side at high speed driven in rash and negligent manner and hit the deceased causing grievous injuries. Police registered a case and hence, the claim was made for an amount of Rs.1,00,000/-. The appellant-Insurance Company contested the same. After holding enquiry, the Tribunal granted compensation of Rs.98,000/- along with interest at 12% per annum. Challenging the same, the appellant-Insurance Company filed appeal before the learned Single Judge mainly contending that the deceased was an outsider and third party and therefore, compensation could not be more than Rs.15,000/- as per Section 95 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The learned Single Judge did not accede to the plea raised by the Insurance Company and dismissed the appeal. Hence, the L.P.A. Having considered the submissions made and having regard to the finding of fact arrived at by both the learned Single Judge and the Tribunal, we find no merits to warrant interference with the same. The L.P.A. is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) __________________ (P.DURGA PRASAD, J) 2nd February 2011 RRB
