S.S. Sodhi, J.@mdashThe impugned Award of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal granting Rs. 1,00,000/- as compensation to the widow and
children of Kali Ram deceased, who was killed when his tractor was involved in an accident with the truck HYF-2377 coming from the opposite
direction, warrants no interference in appeal. The said accident occurred on the Jhajjar-Rohtak Road on April 3,1982. It was the finding of the
Tribunal that the accident had been caused entirely due to the rash and negligent driving of the truck-driver.
2. The short point raised in appeal is with regard to the liability of the Insurance Company for payment of the entire amount, awarded as
compensation to the claimants. The pica sought to be put-forth on behalf of the Insurance company being that its liability is limited to Rs. 50,000/-
A reference to the return filed on behalf of the Insurance Company would show that no pica had been raised therein to the effect that its liability
was limited to Rs. 50,000/- nor docs the copy of the Insurance Policy on record show any limitation in its liability.
The law is now well-settled that if the offending vehicle is shown to be insured, the liability of the Insurance Company would extend to the entire
amount awarded unless a specific pica is raised by the Insurance Company to the effect that its liability is limited and this limitation is expressly
stated in the policy of insurance brought on record. Neither of these conditions stand fulfilled here. No occasion is thus provided for holding that
the liability of the Insurance Company does not extend to the entire amount awarded.
This appeal is consequently hereby dismissed. In the circumstances, however there will be no order as to costs.
