Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the concurrent findings of the Tribunal and the High Court regarding the ownership of the tractor involved in the accident. The Court noted that the insurance policy was in two names, and the tractor was transferred to the appellant, the deceased's wife, after the incident. It emphasized that the deceased was merely a coolie and not the owner of the tractor, which was a single-seater vehicle, thus supporting the findings in Dhanraj vs. New India Assurance Co. Ltd. (2004). No costs were awarded due to the circumstances of the case.
