Krantibai and Ors vs Dinesh Yadav & Ors

Bench: 3 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

This case involved a motor accident dispute arising from a collision between a tractor and a jeep. The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal held the insurer liable based on the tractor driver's negligent and rash driving. The High Court reversed this finding, absolving the insurer of liability. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, restoring the Tribunal's order and holding that the evidence clearly showed the tractor driver's negligence caused the accident, making the insurer liable for compensation to the claimants according to established law.
