JUDGMENT :
C M Joshi, J.
This appeal is directed against the judgment and award dated 11.03.2010 in MVC No.756/2007 passed by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal IX, Ballari (for short "the Tribunal"). The insurance company aggrieved by the said judgment and award has approached this Court in appeal.
2. The parties are referred to as per their ranks before the Tribunal for the sake of convenience.
3. The brief facts of the case are as follows:
The absence of credible evidence proving vehicle involvement in an accident negates claims for compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act.
Claimants must establish vehicle involvement in accidents, and delays in lodging complaints do not negate proof unless they indicate fabrication or inconsistencies.
The claimant must establish the occurrence of an accident with corroborative evidence; reliance solely on witness testimony without supporting documentation is insufficient for compensation.
