National Insurance Co. Ltd vs Reena Devi & Ors

The High Court of Himachal Pradesh upheld the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's decision to award compensation to the victims of a bus accident under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The court found that the bus was not overloaded beyond its permitted capacity, rejecting the Insurance Company's claim of non-liability based on overloading. The court emphasized that evidence presented did not substantiate the Insurance Company's assertions, thus affirming the Tribunal's findings and directing compensation to the injured and deceased's legal representatives.
