JUDGMENT : PRADEEP NANDRAJOG, J. 1. The appellant is the owner of a jeep bearing No. RJ-16-T-007. On 14.09.1996 it was involved in an accident when a two-wheeler scooter driven by Ganesha Ram with Bhanwar Lal on the pillion seat collided with the jeep. The jeep was driven by driver Yakub Khan. Two claim petitions, one filed by Ganesha Ram and other filed by Bhanwar Lal who were injured, have been decided by a common award. 2. On an appreciation of evidence taking note that the accident took place at a curve and there were bushes which hindered the sight of both drivers the Tribunal has held contributory negligence of both drivers and this has resulted in the awarded amount being reduced qua the appellant. 3. With respect to the evidence of contributory negligence learned counsel for the appellant is unable to taint the finding returned by the Tribunal of there being 50% contributory negligence by the driver of the jeep as also Ganesha Ram who was driving the scooter. 4. No arguments being advanced on the computation of the damages awarded to the two injured. I need not note the evidence on the said subject. 5. The only grievance of the appellant is that the Insurance Company has been exonerated. 6. The driver engaged by the appellant who was driving the jeep when it met with an accident had a license to drive a light motor vehicle (which was not a commercial vehicle). The jeep was a commercial vehicle. Meaning thereby, the policy of the insurance was violated by the appellant. Learned counsel for the appellant concedes that the jeep of the appellant was a commercial vehicle registered as taxi. The driver did not have a commercial driving license. 7. Under the circumstances, both the appeals are dismissed.
