He has taken treatment in Remedy Hospital. The Police, KPHB Police Station, registered a case in Crime No. 298 of 2011 against the driver of the offending car. The appellant made a claim against the owner and insurer of the offending car. The 1st respondent had remained ex parte and the 2nd respondent had filed written statement denying the allegations made in the petition, particularly, the age, income and the manner of the accident, and the injuries sustained by the appellant in the accident. The appellant was put to strict proof of the alleged involvement of the offending car which caused the accident. It is alleged that the accident has occurred due to the rash and negligent driving of the appellant himself without following the traffic rules. It is further alleged that the claim of the appellant for Rs. 14,00,000/-, towards special and general damages as specified under various Heads, is highly excessive. It is further alleged that the first respondent-owner has to furnish the particulars of the insurance policy, date, time and place of accident, and also the particulars of driving license, name of the driver and that it is the duty of the police to forward the claim to the Claims Tribunal having jurisdiction.

On consideration of the evidence, the Tribunal answered the Issue No. 1 regarding the rash and negligent driving in favor of the appellant holding that the accident occurred due to the rash and negligent driving by the driver of the offending car. The issues regarding the entitlement of the appellant for compensation and the relief thereof, were answered holding that the appellant is entitled for compensation of Rs. 5,75,548/- with interest at the 7% per annum from the date of petition till realization.
