JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) In this special appeal, appellant National
Insurance Company Ltd. is challenging the judgment
dated 10.01.2001 passed by the learned Single Judge of
this Court in S.B. Civil Misc. Appeal No.772/2000,
whereby, the appeal filed by the appellant against
award dated 20.07.2000 passed by the Motor Accident
Claims Tribunal, Pali in Claim Case No.114/1993 was
dismissed.
(2.) The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Pali passed
award in the sum of Rs.4,24,054/- in favour of
claimant-respondent vide award dated 20.07.2000 after
recording issue-wise finding upon appreciation of
evidence coming on record. In view of apex Court
decisions, reported in AIR 1959 SC 1331 and 1998 ACJ
244, the learned Single Judge vide judgment dated
10.01.2001 dismissed the appeal preferred by the
appellant insurance company with categorical
observation that none of the grounds of negligence or
quantum of award is available to the insurance
company to be raised and, therefore, dismissed the
appeal summarily.
(3.) In this special appeal filed against the judgment of
the learned Single Judge, it is contended by learned
counsel for the appellant that the driver of the erring
vehicle was not possessing valid licence for driving a
light commercial vehicle. Neither before the Motor
Accident Claims Tribunal nor before the learned Single
Judge specific ground as to the validity of the licence
possessed by driver of the erring vehicle was raised,
therefore, at this stage, when specific pleading was not
pleaded by the appellant, then, it is not proper to
interfere in this intra-court appeal.;
