GOVERDHAN BARDHAR

body2017
JUDGMENT : Goverdhan Bardhar, J. This Civil Misc. Appeal has been filed by the appellant under Section 173 of Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 against the award dated 22.01.2015, passed by the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge CUM Motor Accident Claim Tribunal, Dungarpur, Camp Sagwara, whereby the claim petition filed by the present appellant has been dismissed. 2. Learned counsel for the appellant argued that it is not disputed that the deceased Mogi was the wife of the appellant. Merely due to the fact that in the job card and other documents, the name of the mother of the deceased was mentioned. The learned tribunal erred in holding that the appellant husband is not entitled for amount of compensation in the accident. 3. I have perused the entire record and impugned judgment/award dated 22.01.2015 passed by the learned tribunal. 4. In this matter, on account of death of Smt. Mogi W/o Velji (present appellant) in the accident two claim petitions were filed. First Claim Petition No.90/2012 was filed by the mother of the deceased Smt. Mogi and another Claim Petition No.111/2011 was filed by the Velji S/o Bakor Kumhar alleging himself to be the husband of deceased. The learned tribunal consolidated both the petitions and decided by the impugned judgment/award dated 22.01.2015. It is not in dispute that first information report of the accident was lodged by brother of the deceased Smt. Mogi who was living with the mother at the time of the accident 5. The learned tribunal consolidated both the petitions and decided by the impugned judgment/award dated 22.01.2015. It is not in dispute that first information report of the accident was lodged by brother of the deceased Smt. Mogi who was living with the mother at the time of the accident 5. On the basis of evidence produced before the tribunal in para No.20, the learned tribunal had come to the conclusion as under:- ^^izkFkhZ osyth us viuh izfrijh{kk esa mldh larku ugha gksus ds dkj.k nwljh 'kknh djuk Lohdkj fd;k gSA nwljh iRuh ls nks iq= eqds'k vkSj ukjk;.k gksuk dgk gSA e`rdk dks vius ;gka jguk vkSj dqEgkj dk dk;Z dj feV~Vh ds crZu cukuk dgk gS] ysfdu ,slh dksbZ Hkh lk{; izLrqr ugha dh gS fd e`rdk orZeku esa Hkh mlds ;gka jg jgh Fkh vkSj dqEgkj dk dk;Z dj jgh FkhA e`rdk dh eka yhyk us viuh iq=h e`rdk eksxh dk igpku i= izn'kZ&24 iznf'kZr djk;k gS] ftlesa e`rdk dk QksVks yxk gqvk gS vkSj mlesa firk dk uke ntZ gSA eksxh dk e`R;q izek.k i= izn'kZ&25 esa Hkh e`rdk ds firk dk uke ntZ gSA e`rdk dk tksc dkMZ izn'kZ&27 esa Hkh mlds firk dk uke ntZ gSA jk'ku dkMZ izn'kZ&26 tks fnukad 01-04-2001 dks tkjh gqvk gS] mlesa eqf[k;k dk uke e`rdk ds HkkbZ dqcsj dk uke ntZ gS vkSj jk'ku dkMZ esa e`rdk eksxh dk uke dze la0 7 ij ntZ gSA blls ;g Li"V gksrk gS fd e`rdk o"kZ 1995 ls viuh ekWa Jherh yhyk ds ;gka jg jgh FkhA izkFkhZ osyth us viuh lk{; esa ,sls dksbZ dFku ugha fd, fd izkFkhZ dh nwljh 'kknh gksus ds ckn Hkh e`rdk eksxh mlds ;gka jg jgh FkhA xokg MCY;w0&2 Jherh 'kkfUr tks izfrijh{kk esa Lohdkj djrh gS fd tksc dkMZ izn'kZ&23, esa mlds llqj] mldk nsoj ukjk;.k] mldh lkl :de.kh o mldk Lo;a dk QksVks gS] eksxh dk QksVks ugha gSA** 6. The learned tribunal further held that on the basis of the documents Ex.19, 21, 24, 25, 26 & 27, it is found that deceased Smt. Mogi was living/staying with her mother and mother was only dependent upon deceased; the petitioner failed to prove/establish his relationship with the deceased. The conclusion derived by the learned tribunal is based on proper appreciation of the evidence on record. 7. The conclusion derived by the learned tribunal is based on proper appreciation of the evidence on record. 7. In view of the above, the learned tribunal rightly dismissed the Claim Petition No.111/2011 filed by the Velji and allowed the Claim Petition No.90/2012 filed by the mother of the deceased. I do not find any ground to interfere in the impugned judgment/award dated 22.01.2015 passed by the learned tribunal. Hence, the appeal is dismissed without force.
