Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court's order which upheld the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's finding that the vehicle was driven without a valid license. The Court noted that the Tribunal allowed the petitioner to recover compensation from the vehicle owner despite the insurance company's objections. The ruling emphasizes the liability of the vehicle owner in cases of unauthorized driving, affirming the Tribunal's decision without finding merit in the petition.
