AMRIT LAL SOOD vs KAUSHALYA DEVI THAPAR .

The Supreme Court held that under Section 94 and Section 95 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1936, an insurer is not liable for injuries sustained by gratuitous passengers in a vehicle, as the statutory insurance does not cover such risks. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the claimant, being a gratuitous passenger, could not claim compensation from the insurer. The appeal by the appellants was dismissed, and the compensation was upheld as reasonable.
