Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court affirming the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's ruling under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court found that the accident was caused by the negligent driving of the vehicle by the driver, leading to the death of the claimant's relative. It was determined that the vehicle was not insured for carrying passengers, thus the insurer was not liable for compensation, and the owner was held responsible for the awarded amount of Rs. 2,06,000 with interest.
