JUDGMENT Mansoor Ahmad Mir, J. Subject matter of this appeal is award, dated 04.12.2007, made by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal-II, Mandi, H.P., Camp at Karsog (for short "the Tribunal") in Claim Petition No.40 of 2003, titled as Smt. Kamla Devi and others versus Shri Ravinder Gupta, whereby the claim petition filed by the appellants came to be dismissed, however, Rs. 50,000/- came to be awarded under 'No Fault Liability' (for short "the impugned award"). 2. The owner-insured-respondent herein has not questioned the impugned award on any count, thus, has attained finality so far it relates to him. 3. Learned counsel for the appellants-claimants argued that the vehicle, i.e. maruti car, bearing registration No. HP-30-0097, was driven by the respondent herein, namely Shri Ravinder Gupta, rashly and negligently on 31.12.2002, near Chindi and caused the accident, in which deceased, namely Shri Prem Singh, sustained injuries and succumbed to the injuries. 4. It is beaten law of land that sine qua non for maintaining the claim petitions is rash and negligent driving of the vehicle by its driver. 5. It was for the claimants-appellants to lead evidence and to prove by preponderance of probabilities that the driver had driven the offending vehicle rashly and negligently. 6. The respondent-Ravinder Gupta has examined six witnesses. All of them have stated that Ravinder Gupta was not driving the offending vehicle at the relevant point of time, but, it was Prem Singh, who had snatched the keys from Ravinder Gupta and driven the car, which met with the accident. 7. Learned counsel for the appellants-claimants half heartedly argued that FIR was registered against Ravinder Gupta and there is evidence on the file that he was driving the offending vehicle at the relevant point of time, but was not able to shatter the evidence led by Ravinder Gupta. The fact of the matter is that it was deceased-Prem Singh who was driving the offending vehicle at the time of the accident, as held by the Tribunal while passing the impugned award. 8. Having glance of the above discussions, I am of the considered view that the impugned award is well reasoned, legal one and needs no interference. 9. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed and the impugned award is upheld, as indicated hereinabove. 10. Send down the record after placing copy of the judgment on Tribunal's file.
