( 1 ) THE question raised in these appeals is, whether a passenger travelling in the goods vehicle is required to be insured. This matter is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in favour of the Insurance Company, reported in Mallawwa v. Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. where it is held that he is not required to be insured. We make it clear that these cases are also a case under the 1939 Act. Accordingly, the appeals succeed in favour of the Insurance company to the extent of its liability. The High Court judgment is set aside to that extent. Costs on the parties.
