Sushila Devi, 1990 ACJ 1 (Allahabad), the Full Bench of the Allahabad High Court held that when the accident was alleged to have been caused entirely by the negligence of any outside agency, then the Claims Tribunal had no jurisdiction to entertain the claim. But where it has been alleged in the claim petition that the accident was caused by the negligence of the driver of the motor vehicle as well as by some outside agency, the Claims Tribunal has jurisdiction.

11. In Union of India v. Bhagwati Prasad, 1983 ACJ 13 (Allahabad), a similar question arose, where the incident took place between a rail and tempo. The Allahabad High Court held as under :

"In our opinion a complete adjudication of all the claims for compensation in respect of an accident arising out of the use of the motor vehicle was intended to be provided for under the Act and consequently unless all the parties involved in the accident are arrayed as opposite parties before the same forum and are heard on the question of negligence, the matter cannot be properly and effectively disposed of. For otherwise, if the claimant is compelled to institute his claim before the

(7 of 13) [CMA-872/2012]

Tribunal only against the owner and driver of the vehicle and insurer is left to sue the remaining persons responsible for the accident, the adjudication cannot be said to be complete and final. Under the circumstances, the only reasonable interpretation which has appealed to us is that suggested by the learned counsel for the claimants, namely, that the claims were maintainable against the railway also."

In Gujarat State Road Transport Corpn. v. Union of India, 1987 ACJ 734 (Gujarat), the Gujarat High Court took a similar view and held as under: "Held further that in cases of accidents caused by rash and negligent use of motor vehicles, when some outside agency has also contributed to the accident and such outside agency can be treated to be a joint tortfeasor if it is suggested that Claims Tribunal can pass award only against one of the joint tortfeasors, viz. driver of the motor vehicle, along with its owner and insurer, as the case may be, so far as other torfeasors are concerned, the claimant must be driven to civil court for establishing his claim against other joint tortfeasors, it is likely to result into conflicting decisions of two competent forum in connection with the very same accident based on the same set of facts."

12. In United India Insurance Co. Ltd. v.

Premakumaran, 1988 ACJ 597 (Kerala), the Kerala High Court held as under :

"Since the claimants alleged that there was negligence on the part of the Railways, they are also necessary party to the claim petition. If the claim against the Railways is to be filed in a civil court, there will be two parallel proceedings in respect of claims arising out of the same accident. That would only lead to multiplicity of proceedings and may result in conflicting findings and the claimants will be put to undue hardship. Section 110-A does not expressly prohibit any claim petition being filed against persons other than driver, owner and the insurer."

(8 of 13) [CMA-872/2012]

13. When an accident takes place by a motor vehicle, section 175 of the M.V Act bars the jurisdiction of civil court to entertain any question relating to any claim for compensation which may be adjudicated upon by a Claims Tribunal for that area.

14. In the present case, the claimants alleged that the accident took place on account of negligence of the driver of the bus and also of the rail. Under such circumstances, suit for compensation against the driver, owner and insurer cannot be filed in a civil court. The M.V. Act has been enacted to give immediate relief to the claimants. In the present case the petitioners/claimants have alleged negligence of the drivers of the railway and also of the bus and as such a suit for compensation against railway administration can be filed in a civil court. But no suit for compensation can be filed against the driver, owner of the bus and the insurer in view of section 175 of the M.V Act. Furthermore, there are possibilities of conflicting findings. It is also possible that to arrive at a conclusion as to who was negligent, the presence of the driver of the train and the driver and owner of the bus is also required. Under these circumstances, in my view, the Tribunal has jurisdiction to try the claim petition even though a third party has also been involved."

".... On consideration of different provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act this Court ultimately came to hold that , "We hold that the claim for compensation is maintainable before the Tribunal against other persons or agencies which are held to be guilty of composite negligence or are joint tortfeasors, and if arising out of use of the motor vehicle. We hold that the Tribunal and the High Court were right in holding that an award could be passed against the Railways if its negligence in relation to the same accident was also proved." The Court also came to hold that the views expressed by Gauhati, Orissa, and Madras High Courts to the effect that no award can be passed against others except the owner/driver or

(9 of 13) [CMA-872/2012]

insurer of the motor vehicle are not correct, and on the other hand the view taken by the Allahabad, Punjab and Haryana, Gujarat, Kerala and Rajasthan High Courts to the effect that the claim lies before the Tribunal even against another joint tortfeasor connected with the same accident or against whom composite negligence is alleged."

13- mDr uthj ds iSjk la[;k 03 esa fuEufyf[kr er izfrikfnr fd;k gS %& ".... A combined reading of Section 110, 110-A, which deal with the Constitution of one or more Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal and application for compensation arising out of an accident, as specified in sub-section (1) of Section 110 unequivocally indicates that Claims Tribunal would have the jurisdiction to entertain application for compensation both by the persons injured or legal representatives of the deceased when the accident arose out of the use of Motor Vehicle. The crucial expression conferring jurisdiction upon the Claims Tribunal constituted under the Motor Vehicles Act is the accident arising out of use of Motor Vehicle, and therefore, if there has been a collision between the Motor Vehicle and Railway train then all those persons injured or died could make application for compensation before the Claims Tribunal not only against the owner, driver or insurer of the Motor Vehicle but also against the Railway Administration."
