CORAM : V. K. JADHAV, J.

DATED : 8th JUNE, 2017

ORAL JUDGMENT:-

1. Being aggrieved by the common judgment and award

23.3.2007 passed in M.A.C.P. No. 96 of 1998 and other connected

claim petitions and common judgment and award dated 09.04.2007

passed in M.A.C.P. No. 233 of 1998 and other connected claim

petitions by the Member, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Nanded,

the original respondent-insurer has preferred this appeals and civil

revision application.

2. Brief facts, giving rise the present appeals and civil revision

application are as follows:-

fa2059.09-

a) On 27.11.1997, deceased persons and the injured persons

went to Nanded for attending Swadhaya programme of

Pandurangshastri Athwale Maharaj and after attending the said

programme, they started returning to their village alongwith goods

like rice bags, bamboo, drums etc. in a tempo bearing registration

No. MH-26-7967 by Nanded Loha road. On way, within the limits of

village Pardi, one truck bearing registration No. MWP 6729 came

from opposite side in high speed and gave dash to the said tempo.

In consequence of which, the said tempo turned turtle and 13

passengers, out of the persons travelling in the said tempo, died on

the spot and 36 persons were seriously injured. On the basis of the

complaint lodged at police station, Loha, crime No. 142 of 1997 came

to be registered against the drivers of both the vehicles. Thus, the

legal representatives of deceased persons as well as the injured

persons themselves filed separate claim petitions before the

M.A.C.T. Nanded for grant of compensation under various heads

against the owners of both the vehicles and its insurer. Respondent

No.1 is the owner of truck and the respondent No.2 is the owner of

tempo and both the vehicles are insured with the appellant-original

respondent No.3-National Insurance Company Ltd.

b) It has been contended by the claimants in respective claim

petitions that the accident had taken place due to the negligence on

fa2059.09-

the part of both the drivers and as such, the respondents are jointly

and severally liable to pay the compensation as claimed by them

under various heads.

c) Respondent No.1 owner of the truck remained absent though

duly served and therefore, hearing of the claim petitions ordered to

be proceeded exparte against him.

d) Respondent No.2/owner of the said tempo has strongly

resisted all claim petitions by filing written statement and denied the

rash and negligent driving on the part of driver of the tempo. It has

been contended that the driver of the tempo was returning alongwith

the goods in the tempo, however, the deceased and others persons

stopped his tempo and compelled the driver to allow them to travel in

the tempo. The driver of the tempo was cautiously driving his tempo.

However, the said truck came from opposite side in high speed, gave

dash to the tempo and in consequence of which some of the persons

travelling in the tempo died on the spot and other persons sustained

severe injuries. It has also been contended that near about 15 to 20

lacs persons had been there for attending Swadhaya programme of

Pandurang Shashri Athwale Maharaj and near about 15000 vehicles

were at the place of programme. Since the vehicles were not

catering the need of persons assembled there, the police officers,

fa2059.09-

M.L.As and other persons, who were present there for the

programme, allowed the goods vehicles, including the vehicle tempo

to carry the passengers. It has been therefore, contended that

respondent No.2 is not liable to pay the compensation.

e) The appellant-original respondent No.3 also resisted the claim

petitions by filing written statement. Though the appellant insurer

has admitted the insurance coverage of both the vehicles, it has

been contended that the owner of the tempo has contravened the

terms and conditions of insurance policy. The passengers were

carried on hire basis in the tempo, which is goods vehicle. Moreover,

the concerned police station has also registered crime against the

drivers of tempo for illegally carrying the passengers in goods

vehicle. It has been contended that the tempo was carrying more

than 40 to 50 passengers on hire, unauthorizedly, at the time of

accident. It has also been contended that the owners of both the

vehicles are liable to pay the compensation and the appellant insurer

is not liable to pay the compensation.

f) The claimants in the claim petitions led common evidence in

M.A.C.P. No. 76 of 1998 (Vasantrao Pawar and others vs.

Ramprasad Toshniwal) and also produced on record the certified

copies of police documents, like F.I.R, spot panchnama, discharge

fa2059.09-

card, injury certificate, disability certificates as per individual case.

Copies of insurance cover notes of both the vehicles also came to be

produced on record. The appellant-insurer has examined Divisional

Manager to prove the breach of policy condition and examined the

police inspector of concerned police station and company's

investigator.

g) The learned Member of Tribunal in all claim petitions by its two

separate common judgment and award, as aforesaid, held that the

drivers of both the vehicles had contributed the negligence and driver

of the truck contributed the negligence to the extent of 60% whereas

the driver of tempo contributed the negligence to the extent of 40%.

The learned Member of the Tribunal has accordingly awarded the

compensation to the claimants, as detailed in the operative part of

the impugned judgments and award. Hence, these appeals and civil

revision application by the insurer.

3. Learned counsel for the appellant insurer submits that

admittedly the passengers were being carried in goods vehicle tempo

and as such, there is fundamental breach of policy condition. The

learned Member of the tribunal has committed error by directing the

appellant insurer to pay the compensation amount to the claimants

so far as the liability of tempo owner is concerned and recover the

fa2059.09-

same from the respondent-tempo owner. The appellant insurer has

not seriously challenged the finding recorded by the Tribunal about

negligence on the part of drivers of both the vehicles for the reason

that both the vehicles are insured with the appellant insurer. The

learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant has also

not challenged the quantum of compensation as awarded by the

Tribunal in each and every case.

4. Learned counsel for the respondents-original claimants

submits that the learned Member of the Tribunal in para 18 of the

judgment has concluded that this is a case of composite negligence

on the part of drivers of both the vehicles. Learned counsel submits

that it is well settled in the case of composite negligence that the

claimants are entitled to sue both or any one of joint tort feasors to

recover the entire compensation as liability of joint tort feasor as joint

and several. The claimant can recover at his option whole amount of

compensation from any of them. In the instant case, both the joint

tort feasors have been impleaded and as such, the Tribunal has

determined interse the extent of composite negligence of both the

drivers. Learned counsel submits that since both the vehicles

involved in the accident are insured with the appellant insurer, the

defence raised by the appellant insurer looses its significance. The

learned Member of the Tribunal since determined interse liability

fa2059.09-

amongst the tempo owner and the truck owner so that one may

recover the sum from other after making whole of payment to the

claimants. In the instant case, the claimant can execute the award

against the respondent-owner of truck alone and in that event, the

appellant insurer is liable to pay entire amount. Learned counsel

submits that in each and every case, the learned Member of the

tribunal has awarded just and reasonable compensation. Learned

counsel submits that so far as the breach of conditions on the part of

respondent owner of the tempo is concerned, it has been specifically

pleaded by the said respondent that the driver of the tempo was

compelled by the authorities to carry the passengers in goods

vehicle-tempo to clear large crowd gathered there for the said

programme. Learned counsel submits that there is no substance at

all in the appeals as well as the civil revision application and all of

them are liable to be dismissed.

5. On careful perusal of pleadings, evidence and the impugned

common judgments and award passed by the Tribunal, particularly,

the contents of spot panchnama Exh. 54, it appears that the tar road

at the spot is 20 ft. in breadth and there is Kaccha road of 5 ft on both

sides of the road. It thus clear that there was ample space for the

vehicles to cross. Moreover, on that day, large crowd was gathered

for a particular event and as such, it was expected from the drivers of

fa2059.09-

both the vehicles to take utmost precaution while driving their

respective vehicles from that road. After going through the contents

of spot panchnama, it appears that both the vehicles got damaged

extensively in the accident. Thus, only irresistible inference could be

drawn that drivers of both the vehicles driven their vehicles in rash

and negligent manner and as such accident had taken place. The

learned Member of the Tribunal has therefore, rightly concluded that

this is a case of composite negligence on the part of drivers of both

the vehicles. So far as the interse liability amongst the joint tort

feasors is concerned, after having gone through the evidence

recorded by the Tribunal, it appears that there was almost head on

collision between the said vehicles and further the truck gave dash to

the middle and cleaner portion of the said tempo. Learned Member

of the tribunal, has therefore, rightly held that the driver of the truck

had contributed the negligence to the extent of 60% and driver of the

tempo contributed the negligence to the extent of 40%.

6. So far as the liability of the appellant-insurer to pay

compensation to the claimants and recover the same from the

respondent owner of the tempo is concerned, in the backdrop of

finding recorded by the Tribunal about composite negligence, the

defence raised by the appellant-insurer looses its significance. Both

the vehicles are insured with the appellant insurer. So far as entire

fa2059.09-

liability amongst the joint tort feasors, as determined by the Tribunal,

is concerned, the same is for the purpose to facilitate one of the joint

tort feasor to recover the sum from other after making entire payment

to the claimants. In the instant case, being the insurer of the truck

involved in the accident, the appellant insurer is liable to pay the

entire amount and as such, no purpose would be served to set aside

the order of the Tribunal directing the appellant insurer to pay the

compensation amount to the claimants recoverable from the

respondent owner of the tempo and then recover the same from the

respondent tempo owner.

7. Learned counsel for the appellant insurer has not challenged

the quantum of compensation. Thus, there is no substance in the

appeals and civil revision application and as such all the appeals and

civil revision application are liable to be dismissed. Hence, I proceed

to pass the following order:-
