NAGASHETTY vs UNITED INDIS INSURANCE CO. LTD. .

The Supreme Court held that under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, specifically Sections 2(14), 2(44), 2(46), and 2(47), a tractor with an attached trailer is classified as a transport vehicle, necessitating a valid driving license for such vehicles. The Court found that the driver only possessed a license for driving a tractor, not a transport vehicle, thus absolving the Insurance Company from liability. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the owner must bear the compensation awarded to the claimants.
