(3.) The only contention raised by Mr. Vinod Tyagi, the learned counsel for the appellant, is that the learned Tribunal has erred in di-recting the Insurance Company to pay the award amount to the claimant-respondent initially and thereafter to recover the same from the owner of the offending vehicle.

Moreover, once it is held that there is breach of the policy, the Insurance Company cannot be held liable to make the payment.;
