JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) The challenge in the present revision petition is to the order
dated 22.9.2005 passed by the learned Executing Court whereby the
objections filed by the petitioner that the Insurance Company cannot
recover the amount paid by the Insurance Company to the claimant
but instead is required to file a civil suit for the recovery of the claimed
amount were dismissed.
(2.) Vide award dated 12.6.2001, the claimants were awarded a
sum of Rs.2.45,000/- in a claim petition filed under Section 166 of the
Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. In para No.19 of the award, the Insurance
Company was found entitled to recover the amount from Vijay Kumar
driver and Parshottam owner. Said award passed by the learned
Motor Accident Claims Tribunal has attained finality. In the execution filed
by the Insurance Company to recover the amount of compensation from
the petitioner who is owner of the vehicle, the objection was filed that the
claim is not executable and the Insurance Company should file
regular civil suit.
(3.) The learned Executing Court dismissed the objections on the
ground that the award which is sought to be executed, the petitioner
was duly represented and that they are without any merit.;
