ANU BHANVARA ETC. vs IFFCO TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to enhance compensation for two gratuitous passengers injured in a jeep accident, affirming the principle of composite negligence. The Court found that the insurer of the jeep was not liable as the passengers were not covered under the insurance policy for a goods vehicle. The judgment clarified that the owner and driver of the jeep would be responsible for the payment of compensation, thus reinforcing the liability of vehicle owners in cases involving gratuitous passengers.
