RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT
Mahesh Chandra Sharma, J.
Kailash Chand and Anr. - Appellant
Versus
Shiv Chand and Ors. - Respondent
S.B. Civil Misc. Appeal No. 3228/2012.
Decided On : 03-09-2012
For the Petitioner:Manish Choudhary, Advocate.
For the Respondent: None.
Headnote:Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 – S. 149 – Insurer liability in issue – the insurance company was told to pay the compensation to the claimant and later can recover the same from the insurer as the company is not liable to pay for the hire as well – hence the appeal to dismiss the same was not allowed and rejected.
