This is claimant's appeal against the order of dismissal of the claim petition by the Tribunal.

2. For the purpose of convenience, parties are referred to as they are referred to in the original proceedings.

3. Claimants are the parents of one Ravindra @ Ravi who was working as Assistant Engineer in APMC, Sub-division Bijapur and earning Rs.9,000/- P.M. On 26.6.2001, when he was riding his Hero Honda motor cycle bearing No.KA-29/H-6217 on Bagalkot - Navanagar road at 12.10 A.M. i.e. at midnight, he met with an accident. The case of the claimants is that one mini goods lorry bearing No.KA-28/5177 came from the opposite direction being driven by its driver in a rash and negligent manner and dashed against the motor cycle. Due to the impact, said Ravindra fell on the ground and sustained multiple fractures on his head and became unconscious. Mobile police who were on duty found his body, informed his family, and shifted him to Bagalkot hospital. From there, he was moved to Shivakrupa Hospital, Hubli, for further treatment. Unfortunately, two days thereafter, i.e. on 28.6.2001 at 4.30 PM., he died in the hospital while undergoing treatment. Appellants/claimants contended
