THESE APPEALS, COMING ON FOR FURTHER HEARING,
THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER:
CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE T.G. SHIVASHANKARE GOWDA
ORAL JUDGMENT
In these bunch of appeals, the Insurance
Company has challenged the liability to pay the
compensation as fastened by the Tribunal.

2. For the sake of convenience, the rank of the
parties shall be referred to as per their status before
the Tribunal.
3. Undisputedly there was an accident on
02.03.2012 at 6.15 a.m., near Madhihalli village, in
front of Janaka Agro Industries, NH-206 road, Tiptur
taluk, involving a private bus bearing the name
“Prakasha Bus” bearing Reg.No.KA-06/B-7369 carrying
the passengers, while overtaking a lorry going ahead
bus had dashed against the roadside tree. Due to
which, the bus was toppled and petitioners being
passengers in the said bus have sustained simple and
grievous injuries. After taking treatment at various
Hospitals, the petitioners have approached the Tribunal
for grant of compensation. Claims were opposed by the
Insurance Company on the ground that the bus was
permitted to drive in a certain route, but at the time of
accident, the bus was traveling in a deviated route.
Thereby, the bus has committed breach of permit, it

AND 23 OTHERS
amounts to violation of terms and conditions of the
policy, the Insurance Company can avoid its liability.
The Tribunal after taking the evidence and hearing the
learned counsels appearing for the respective
petitioners and the Insurance Company, by a common
judgment allowed the claim petitions, assessed
compensation and directed the Insurance Company to
indemnify the insured. Questioning the same, the
Insurance Company is before this Court.
4. Heard the arguments of Shri A.M.Venkatesh,
learned counsel for the Insurance Company, Shri
Sandeep Lahiri, learned counsel appearing on behalf of
Smt.Sowmya Ananth, learned counsel for the owner of
the Bus and Shri. Nagendra Shetty, learned counsel
who representing some of the petitioners.
5. It is the strenuous submission on behalf of the
Insurance Company that the bus was required to travel
from Tiptur to Chitradurga and return in a prescribed
route. The place of accident will not comes within the

AND 23 OTHERS
said route prescribed in the permit. The bus was
deviated from the permitted route, it was the cause for
the accident, it is a fundamental breach and it can be
avoided its liability. In support of his contention, he
has relied on the judgment of Hon’ble Apex Court in
(Amrit Paul Singh & Another v. TATA AIG General
Insurance Company Ltd and others)1
5.1. Insofar as the quantum of compensation is
concerned, there is no dispute. Learned counsel for the
Insurance Company has placed reliance on the
judgment of Gohar Mohammed v. U.P. State Road
Transport Corporation2 to support his arguments.
6. Per contra, learned counsel for the owner of
the vehicle has contended that it is not a case of no
permit and principles of Gohar Mohammed’s case
(supra) is not applicable to the facts of this case. It is

AND 23 OTHERS
his case that due to tree fall, the driver was forced to
take a little deviation and it is not a case of no permit.
Learned counsel has tried to emphasis that the bus
was started its journey at the permitted point and it
was reaching the permitted point, only little deviation
because of natural calamities, beyond control it does
not amount to a fundamental breach. The Insurance
Company cannot be permitted to take such a defense
which is not available as contemplated under Section
149 of the Motor Vehicles Act (for short, ‘M.V.Act’). The
Tribunal is justified in fastening the liability against the
Insurance Company. To buttress his arguments, he has
relied on the bunch of judgments rendered by
Coordinate Bench and Division Bench of this Court.
7. Learned counsel for the petitioners has
submitted that identical contentions have been taken
by the Insurance Company as well as the owner of the
vehicle before the Tribunal. The Tribunal, after
appreciating the material on record and the principles

AND 23 OTHERS
of liability has rightly directed the Insurance Company
to indemnify the insured and he has supported the
impugned judgment.
8. I have given my anxious consideration to the
arguments addressed on behalf of the owner of the
Bus petitioners and Insurance Company and perused
the records.
9. The quantum of compensation assessed in
respect of the petitioners is not in dispute. The only
point that arises before this Court “whether the
Insurance Company can avoid its liability to indemnify
the insured?” The ground urged by the Insurance
Company is that there is a fundamental breach of
terms and conditions of the policy, and the Insurance
Company having a right to avoid its liability.
10. The Hon’ble Apex Court in Gohar
Mohammed’s case referred (supra), when the
accident took place the vehicle in question did not have

AND 23 OTHERS
a valid and effective permit to plie the said vehicle on
the route. This means to say that at the time of
accident, the vehicle in question was not holding valid
permit at all.
11. The Division Bench of this Court in Syed
Zaheer v. Smt.Puttamadamma and others in
MFA.No.5745/2016 and C/w. MFA.No.4811/2016

is thus clear in Gohar Mohammed and Syed Zaheer
cases, (supra) the Hon’ble Apex Court and the Division
Bench of this Court were dealing with no permit and
not the deviation of permit.
12. Adverting to the arguments of learned
counsel for the owner of the bus that the driver was
forced to take a deviation due to fall of the tree on
account of natural calamities has been rightly
answered by Insurance Company by placing evidence
of Assistant Executive Engineer of PWD and the Range
Forest Officer of Chikkanayakanahalli who have been
examined as RWs.5 and 6. Their testimony shows
there was no tree fall on the said route. Even assuming
for the sake of arguments, the Bus was deviated
without any natural calamities, it is not a case of no
permit, it is a case of deviation of permit.
13. As regarding deviation of permit, the learned
counsel for the owner of the vehicle has relied on the

and deviation of permit relying on the judgment of the
Division Bench of this Court in Smt.Sandhya (supra)
in MFA.No.102428/2007 order dated 07.06.2019 and
also Durgamma (supra) came to the conclusion that
the violation of permit condition on account of the
deviation of permit is not a fundamental breach within
the meaning of Section 149(2) of the M.V.Act and
directed the insurer to indemnify the insured.
15. These catena of judgments clearly point out
and makes out distinction between ‘no permit’ and
‘deviation of permit’. At the time of accident the bus

was holding valid permit to ply between Tiptur to
Chitradurga, it was plying between Chitradurga and
Tiptur only but only deviation of route in the middle.
Hence, as laid down by this Bench, Coordinate Bench
and also the Division Bench of this Court, for deviation
of the valid permit, the Insurance Company cannot
avoid its liability as it is not a fundamental breach
within the meaning of Section 149(2) of the M.V.Act. It
is not a case for application of principle of pay and
recovery as the violation is not a fundamental breach.
The Tribunal has rightly appreciated the evidence on
record and directed the Insurance Company to
indemnify the insured.
16. As to the factual matrix of the case, principles
of Gohar Mohammed’s is not applicable and
principles in Amrit Paul Singh is also not applicable to
apply principle of pay and recovery. All these appeals
are devoid of merits, in the result, the following:
