Kalim Khan vs Fimidabee

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, affirming that the death of Firoz was caused by a stone falling due to a blasting operation linked to the use of a tractor. The Court found that the tractor was used for commercial purposes, constituting a breach of the insurance policy, thus holding the owner liable for compensation of Rs. 9,30,000 with interest. The ruling clarified the interpretation of 'use of motor vehicle' in the context of liability for accidents caused by associated activities.
