THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY C.M.A.No.818 of 2004 JUDGMENT: The facts of this case are squarely covered by those in C.M.A.No.809 of 2004. The 1st respondent herein and another person, by name, Golla Krishna, were travelling in a lorry, bearing No.AP 21 T 5694, together with their produce to Kurnool. In the accident that occurred on the way, Krishna died, whereas the 1st respondent herein sustained injuries. Two O.Ps., viz., 863 of 2001, and 511 of 2002 by the appellant herein, were filed. The Tribunal found that the accident occurred on account of the rashness on the part of the driver of the lorry. The compensation was computed in accordance with the settled principles of law and the 1st respondent was awarded a sum of Rs.50,000/-. This Court expressed the view that the findings recorded by the Tribunal, be it as regards the responsibility for the accident or the quantum, do not warrant interference. Even with the regard to the liability on the part of the appellant, it was observed that since victims of the accident were travelling together with the goods, the appellant is also responsible to cover the liability. An additional aspect in the instant case is that the coverage towards the owner of the goods is restricted to only one person. Fastening of liability on the appellant to pay the compensation to the 1st respondent herein would be in contravention of the terms of contract. Even if that is so, the appellant can pay the compensation to the 1st respondent and recover the same from the owner. With the above observation, the C.M.A. is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:21.11.2011 Note: Furnish C.C. in one week. (B/o) GJ
