Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the concurrent findings of fact by the Tribunal and the High Court regarding the ownership of the tractor involved in the insurance claim. The Court noted that the insurance policy was in two names and that the tractor was transferred to the appellant, the deceased's wife, after the incident. The Court also highlighted that the tractor, being a single-seat vehicle, limited the number of passengers, which was relevant to the case. The judgment referenced Dhanraj vs. New India Assurance Co. Ltd., 2004 (8) SCC 553 for its reasoning.
