HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** FAO No.1521 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION: 10.08.2009 **** United Indian Insurance Co.Ltd. . . . . Appellant vs. Mohinder Kaur and others . . . . Respondents **** CORAM : HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG **** Present: Mr. Sanjiv Pabbi, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Jaideep Verma, Advocate for respondent No.1. Mr. Navin Sharma, Advocate for respondent No. 2. **** RAKESH KUMAR GARG J.(ORAL) This is insurer’s appeal challenging the award dated 18th December, 2007 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Ropar whereby respondent No.1 has been granted compensation on account of the injury suffered by her due to rash and negligent driving of bus No.PB-12-E-6969 by its driver. The only point raised in this appeal by the learned counsel for the appellant is that the driver of the bus was not holding a valid and effective driving licence on the date of alleged accident. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. While discussing Issue No.1, the Tribunal had noticed that the appellants have failed to lead any evidence on this Issue despite onus upon them. Moreover, there is nothing on record from which it can be made out that the aforesaid point was raised by the appellant before the Tribunal. Thus, I find no merit in this appeal. Dismissed.
