JUDGMENT : The only substantial question of law raised in this appeal filed under the Workmen’s Compensation Act is, “Whether, in an accident which took place after 14-11-1994, it is necessary for the driver of the vehicle to have a license to drive a medium goods vehicle.” 2.At the outset, it may be noted that after the amendment of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 by Act No.54 of 1994, there are three types of vehicles namely light motor vehicles, medium goods vehicle and heavy vehicles. 3.A light motor vehicle is defined as follows:- “2(21).“light motor vehicle” means a transport vehicle or omnibus the gross vehicle weight of either of which or a motor car or tractor or road-roller the unladen weight of any of which, does not exceed 7,500 kilograms;” 4.Heavy goods vehicle is defined as follows:- “2(16).“heavy goods vehicle” means any goods carriage the gross vehicle weight of which, or a tractor or a road-roller the unladen weight of either of which, exceeds 12,000 kilograms;” 5. Medium goods vehicle is defined as follows:- “2(23).“medium goods vehicle” means any goods carriage other than a light motor vehicle or a heavy goods vehicle;” 6.Therefore, a vehicle having unladen weight not exceeding 7500 kilograms is a light motor vehicle. A vehicle having unladen weight of more than 12000 kilograms is a heavy vehicle and a vehicle having unladen weight between 7500 kilograms and 12000 kilograms is a medium vehicle. 7.The registration certificate of the vehicle in question has been placed on record and it shows that the unladen weight was 1950 kilograms and the registered laden weight was 5300 kilograms. Therefore, even the laden weight was less than the unladen weight prescribed for a light motor vehicle. As such, the vehicle was wrongly certified to be a medium goods vehicle and was, in fact, a light motor vehicle. Therefore, the deceased had a valid driving license to drive the vehicle. 8. In this view of the matter, the Insurance Company was rightly held liable to pay the compensation. There is no merit in the appeal which is accordingly dismissed. 9. Send down the lower court records forthwith.
