3. An ording to I he learned counsel for the insurer ol thc tempo trax. thc facts on n cord would speak for themselves how the accident has occurred unless the tipper was standing there without any caution by flashing parking lights the accident would not hai e occurred. In other words. the very tipper was without any parking lights. therefore the accident occurred and hence driver of flit tipper was also equally responsible for the occurrence of the accident 4 As agains thi’, the respondcnts ‘) intl ppeanng icr the ln%urei •)f thu tippci contends that tin coillelit’ “I Ic )mplal it w )tt r ‘cc ds nd ca I n hc iccidc it flsc.crrl.

The contents of Ex.P.3 Indicate Rudranalk was also travelling in the said tempo trax at the time of accident. After occurrence of the accident, he was the one who went to the police station and lodged a complaint at about 6.30 a.m on 04.10.2006. Based on the said complaint, investigation was taken up and ultimatels chargesheel also caine to be ified against the driver nf the tempo trax after completion of the in estigation. The contents of complaint of Ex.P.3 indicates 4Iu’r ha’•ing i I coltec ‘ n he prcx(cde w rd Ilubli ir h PC c I hei e.

The Motor Vehicle Inspecto?s Report which is at Fx p 5 indicates that the damage caused to the tipper are very negligent and the damage as on thc rear nght side comet of the tipper and all other parts were found in order. So far as the tempo trax, front wind screen glass, left side portion of the body and seats ere fully damaged and the things that had scattered there would indicate the force of Impact on the vehicle when the accident occurred the front portion of the tempo trax ha come into contact with the right rear portion of the tipper Of course nothmg is statc d about the parking hghts of the tippc r in the omplamt lodged by Mr Rudranaik Wc annot gathet uch nfoi mahor ithc r tmm maha ar f the spo or fr rn’ he Moto ehicle r t Ii .i d I- negligence on the part of the driver of the tipper. burden is on the insurer to establish how driver of tipper also contributed negligence for the occurrence of the ac i ident.

Such proof could be either from the cross examination of the witnesses examined by th claimants or by ocamining other independent witnesses. The best n idenc e in this case would be to examine the driver of the- tempo trax who could have stated what exactly was tht situation when accident occurred and why he could not a oid the ac cident If th tipper was stationed without an parkmg lights or any other caution as the u hick was under repair such matenal must come on record m order o saddk hi i’i,urer lx ipper 1 he hlbilit3 of pl3mcnt f )mleasat r Ndtrn ph d on recor1 d atn 1cr I C I :26. responsible for the accident as could be gathered from the material on record.

1’hen coming to the other contention raised by the insurer that the permit ol tI-n ft mpo ti-ax was oni) to c arrt 12 passengers and therefore the owner has violated the terms of policy. As already stated, 2 out of 20 passengers were minors and naturally they had to be in the company of their guardians. Even otherwise. the liability against the insurcr of tempo wax is only in respect of 12 claims and not all the claims. Therefore. the Thbunal was justified In holding that the insurer of tempo trax was responsibk ft mdenmifv th nvner Whether thc oner kno ledu irn ei arrymp hat man) passenger u sti n of ie md thc ‘appellant ‘ii- ure nas 1iot let material on pe I ‘it flit Tnt reirire. it r, hot open to thr’m o sfl that the . .wnrr ‘a’- it%pr.nsihle for the ‘iolaiion ni trnns ot rr, nrr.

Then coming to the appeal of the claimants in M.F.A.No.24406/2010. the claimants in this case are wife and children of one Basavanagouda Pall apart from the pan ins of Basnkuaagouda Paul. F athc r of the deceased was aged about 67 years and his occupation is also shown as agriculture The claimants were not able to bring on record any specific material indicating the exact age of the deceased. Therefore. the Tribunal proceeded to compute compensation based on the age shown in the post mortem rcport of the deceased. As per the records at Murkibbavi village, the family of the deceased had 15 acres 26 guntas of land It is ilso suggested that one of tiit land bearing ‘3)No /2 t iidrn It mine f f th dece ist i In I n 5 imants, °ludh h renr (if tin •‘ec ea%t-d E” cil pbc intt RTC pi iiininL to tin - z-ds no 1in iiritii-tL k i’itiaowi’’’ ia.’:lp-i inc leA f’n be ) t iti t ii.

RTC extract of the lands and also SL\ receipts issued by MKHubli Suar Cane Factory, indicates deceased was ultivaring his lands by growing sugar cane and other crops.

7. So far as oth r heads. the Tribunal has awarded Rs.10.000/- tinder each head i.e.. Rs.40.000/- and this court Is of the opinion, there is no need to disturb the saId quantum of R.s.40.000/ under other heads. in all, the appellants ‘ire cntitled for Rs.7 60.000/ as compensation. The enhanced compensation will cany Interest at 6°i p.a horn the date of elton till thc late of deposit 8 Thc it ii’ ontt- idcc thit nte c nt 41car(frc) Lw thi’ lrihuntl at 9’. p.a is exoibitant I hi I Ic I I c’ IC q u 1 ‘it ni all T)it’ ‘L 45C. ct; tì . tht aplWal% tilt ‘1 l; ib’- :nstirc’ e ..t t -e I i ‘c I .32. Interest awarded by the Tribunal has to be reduced to 6°o p.a. so far as the rate of interest awarded and sal hilled. So far as the l1abilIt aitainsi the owner. as the owner has not pi eferred any appeal. we are not Interfering with those orders of the Tribunal.

In view of the above discussion and reasoning. M.F.A.No.24406/2010 is allowed In pan with costs.
