KARNATAKA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION vs K.V. SAKEENA & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision that the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation was solely liable for the accident involving its bus, which was found to be negligent. The Court clarified that the notification under Rule 341 of the Karnataka Motor Vehicles Rules, 1963, did not apply to the transport of a rear dumper on a truck trailer, as it was not in compliance with the conditions stated. The Court emphasized that the bus driver was speeding while the truck was moving slowly, thus affirming the High Court's finding of negligence against the Corporation.
